Image
O to be self-balanced for contingencies, to confront night, storms, hunger, ridicule, accidents, rebuffs, as the trees and animals do.
Walt Whitman
Image
The beauty of independence, departure, actions that rely on themselves.
Walt Whitman
Image
There is no flaw or vacuum in the amount of the truth - but all is truth without exception And henceforth I will go celebrate any thing I see or am, And sing and laugh and deny nothing.
Walt Whitman
Image
Most works are most beautiful without ornament.
Walt Whitman
Image
Produce great men, the rest follows.
Walt Whitman
Image
Sail Forth- Steer for the deep waters only. Reckless O soul, exploring. I with thee and thou with me. For we are bound where mariner has not yet dared go. And we will risk the ship, ourselves, and all.
Walt Whitman
Image
Pointing to another world will never stop vice among us shedding light over this world can alone help us.
Walt Whitman
Image
All truths wait in all things,/They neither hasten their own delivery nor resist it
Walt Whitman
Image
At times it has been doubtful to me if Emerson really knows or feels what Poetry is at its highest, as in the Bible, for instance, or Homer or Shakspeare. I see he covertly or plainly likes best superb verbal polish, or something old or odd
Walt Whitman
Image
What beauty there is in words what a lurking curious charm in the sound some words.
Walt Whitman
Image
O lands! O all so dear to me - what you are, I become part of that, whatever it is.
Walt Whitman
Image
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
Image
Dazzling and tremendous how quick the sun-rise would kill me, if I could not now and always send sun-rise out of me.
Walt Whitman
Image
Love the earth and sun and animals, Despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks, Stand up for the stupid and crazy, Devote your income and labor to others... And your very flesh shall be a great poem.
Walt Whitman
Image
All the past we leave behind We debouch upon a newer, mightier world, varied world, Fresh and strong the world we seize, world of labor and the march, Pioneers! O Pioneers!
Walt Whitman
Image
Ah little recks the laborer, How near his work is holding him to God, The loving Laborer through space and time
Walt Whitman
Image
I celebrate myself, and sing myself.
Walt Whitman
Image
From this hour I ordain myself loos'd of limits and imaginary lines. Going where I list, my own master, total and absolute. Listening to others, and considering well what they say. Pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating. Gently but with undeniable will, divesting myself of the holds that would hold me.
Walt Whitman
Image
There is no week nor day nor hour when tyranny may not enter upon this country, if the people lose their roughness and spirit of defiance.
Walt Whitman
Image
Many a good man I have seen go under.
