Walt Whitman
Image
Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road. Healthy, free, the world before me. The long brown path before me leading me wherever I choose. Henceforth, I ask not good fortune, I myself am good fortune. Henceforth, I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing.

The whole purpose of the universe is unerringly aimed at one thing - you.
Walt Whitman
Image
Man is about the same, in the main, whether with despotism, or whether with freedom.
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
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
I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contain'd, I stand and look at them long and long.
