The habit of giving only enhances the desire to give.
Walt Whitman
Image
Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes.
Walt Whitman
Image
Books are to be called for and supplied on the assumption that the process of reading is not a half-sleep, but in the highest sense an exercise, a gymnastic struggle that the reader is to do something for himself.
Walt Whitman
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
When I undertake to tell the best, I find I cannot. My tongue is ineffectual on its pivots, My breath will not be obedient to its organs, I become a dumb man.
Walt Whitman
Image
I exist as I am, that is enough.
Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman
Image
There was a child went forth everyday, And the first object he looked upon and received with wonder or pity or dread, that object he became, And that object became part of him for the day or a certain part of the day... or for many years or stretching cycles of years.
Walt Whitman
Image
The whole purpose of the universe is unerringly aimed at one thing - you.
Walt Whitman
Image
If you want me again look for me under your boot soles.
Walt Whitman
Image
I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game. It will take our people out-of-doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism. Tend to relieve us from being a nervous, dyspeptic set. Repair these losses, and be a blessing to us.
Walt Whitman
Image
Americans should know the universe itself as a road, as many roads, as roads for traveling souls.
Walt Whitman
Image
I am not contain'd between my hat and boots.
Walt Whitman
Image
I discover myself on the verge of a usual mistake.
