More quotes by Walt Whitman
Thunder on! Stride on! Democracy. Strike with vengeful stroke!
Walt Whitman
I swear I think there is nothing but immortality!
Walt Whitman
The words of my book nothing, the drift of it everything.
Walt Whitman
this is thy hour o soul, thy free flight into the wordless, away from books, away from art, the day erased, the lesson done, thee fully forth emerging, silent, gazing, pondering the themes thou lovest best, night, sleep, death and the stars.
Walt Whitman
O captain! My Captain! Our fearful trip is done. The ship has weather'd every wrack The prize we sought is won The port is near, the bells I hear The people all exulting While follow eyes, the steady keel The vessel grim and daring But Heart! Heart! Heart! O the bleeding drops of red Where on the deck my captain lies Fallen cold and dead.
Walt Whitman
A woman waits for me, she contains all, nothing lacking.
Walt Whitman
In all people I see myself - none more, and not one a barleycorn less And the good or bad I say of myself, I say of them.
Walt Whitman
The powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse.
Walt Whitman
O the joy of my spirit--it is uncaged--it darts like lightning! It is not enough to have this globe or a certain time, I will have thousands of globes and all time.
Walt Whitman
Judging from the main portions of the history of the world, so far, justice is always in jeopardy.
Walt Whitman
The earth does not argue, Is not pathetic, has no arrangements, Does not scream, haste, persuade, threaten, promise, Makes no discriminations, has no conceivable failures, Closes nothing, refuses nothing, shuts none out.
Walt Whitman
We convince by our presence.
Walt Whitman
Have you heard that it was good to gain the day? I also say it is good to fall, battles are lost in the same spirit in which they are won.
Walt Whitman
Only themselves understand themselves and the like of themselves, As souls only understand souls.
Walt Whitman
The earth is rude, silent, incomprehensible at first Be not discouraged - keep on - there are divine things, well envelop'd I swear to you there are divine things more beautiful than words can tell.
Walt Whitman
I do not seek good fortune - I am good fortune!
Walt Whitman
How beggarly appear arguments before a defiant deed!
Walt Whitman
And I will show that there is no imperfection in the present, and can be none in the future, And I will show that whatever happens to anybody it may be turned to beautiful results.
Walt Whitman
What do you suppose will satisfy the soul, except to walk free and own no superior?
Walt Whitman
I dance with the dancers.
Walt Whitman
