More quotes by Walt Whitman
Dismiss whatever insults your soul.
Walt Whitman
Every moment of light and dark is a miracle.
Walt Whitman
The proof of a poet is that his country absorbs him as affectionately as he has absorbed it.
Walt Whitman
The question, O me! so sad, recurring - What good amid these, O me, O life? That you are here - that life exists and identity, that the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.
Walt Whitman
Out of the cradle endlessly rocking, Out of the mocking bird's throat, the musical shuttle, . . . . A reminiscence sing.
Walt Whitman
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
I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars.
Walt Whitman
Great is Youth--equally great is Old Age--great are Day and Night. Great is Wealth--great is Poverty--great is Expression-great is Silence.
Walt Whitman
This is what you shall do: Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people.
Walt Whitman
I exist as I am, that is enough, If no other in the world be aware, I sit content, And if each and all be aware, I sit content.
Walt Whitman
I say the whole earth and all the stars in the sky are for religion's sake.
Walt Whitman
Produce great men, the rest follows.
Walt Whitman
I dreamed in a dream, I saw a city invincible to the attacks of the whole of the rest of the earth I dreamed that was the new City of Friends Nothing was greater there than the quality of robust love—it led the rest It was seen every hour in the actions of the men of that city, And in all their looks and words.
Walt Whitman
My ties and ballasts leave me - I travel - I sail - My elbows rest in the sea-gaps. I skirt the sierras. My palms cover continents - I am afoot with my vision.
Walt Whitman
I see Hermes, unsuspected, dying, well-beloved, saying to the people, Do not weep for me, This is not my true country, I have lived banished from my true country - I now go back there, I return to the celestial sphere where every one goes in his turn.
Walt Whitman
I do not ask the wounded person how he feels, I myself become the wounded person.
Walt Whitman
Nothing can happen more beautiful than death.
Walt Whitman
Are you the new person drawn toward me?
Walt Whitman
I loafe and invite my soul.
Walt Whitman
The Past -- the dark unfathomed retrospect! The teeming gulf --the sleepers and the shadows! The past! the infinite greatness of the past! For what is the present after all but a growth out of the past?
Walt Whitman
