More quotes by Walt Whitman

Image
Lo, the most excellent sun so calm and haughty, The violet and purple morn with just-felt breezes, The gentle soft-born measureless light, The miracle spreading bathing all, the fulfill'd noon, The coming eve delicious, the welcome night and the stars, Over my cities shining all, enveloping man and land.
Walt Whitman
Image
Swiftly arose and spread around me the peace and knowledge that pass all the argument of the earth, And I know that the hand of God is the promise of my own, And I know that the spirit of God is the brother of my own, And that all the men ever born are also my brothers, and the women my sisters and lovers, And that a kelson of the creation is love.
Walt Whitman
Image
THIS dust was once the Man, / Gentle, plain, just and resolute—under whose cautious hand, / Against the foulest crime in history known in any land or age, / Was saved the Union of These States.
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 tramp a perpetual journey.
Walt Whitman
Image
And as to you Death, and you bitter hug of mortality, it is idle to try to alarm me.
Walt Whitman
Image
Now understand me well. It is provided in the essence of things that from any fruition of success, no matter what, shall come forth something to make a greater struggle necessary.
Walt Whitman
Image
And a summit and flower there is the feeling they have for each other, And they are to branch boundlessly out of that lesson until it becomes omnific, And until one and all shall delight us, and we them.
Walt Whitman
Image
I dream in my dreams all the dreams of the other dreamers. And I become the other dreamers.
Walt Whitman
Image
I swear I think there is nothing but immortality!
Walt Whitman
Image
I am too not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable, I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world.
Walt Whitman
Image
I cannot too often repeat that Democracy is a word the real gist of which still sleeps, quite unawakened, notwithstanding the resonance and the many angry tempests out of which its syllables have come, from pen or tongue. It is a great word, whose history, I suppose, remains unwritten because that history has yet to be enacted.
Walt Whitman
Image
I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contained, I stand and look at them long and long.
Walt Whitman
Image
If you want me again look for me under your boot soles.
Walt Whitman
Image
The moon gives you light, and the bugles and the drums give you music, and my heart, O my soldiers, my veterans, my heart gives you love.
Walt Whitman
Image
From this hour, freedom! Going where I like, my own master.
Walt Whitman
Image
O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish what good amid these, O me, O life?
Walt Whitman
Image
You road I enter upon and look around, I believe you are not all that is here, I believe much unseen is also here

Nothing endures but personal qualities.

Be curious, not judgmental.
