Walt Whitman

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

Walt Whitman
Image
I tramp a perpetual journey.
Walt Whitman
Image

Walt Whitman
Image
Without enough wilderness America will change. Democracy, with its myriad personalities and increasing sophistication, must be fibred and vitalized by regular contact with outdoor growths - animals, trees, sun warmth and free skies - or it will dwindle and pale.
Walt Whitman
Image
But the people are ungrammatical, untidy, and their sins gaunt and ill-bred.
Walt Whitman
Image
It is only the novice in political economy who thinks it is the duty of government to make its citizens happy - government has no such office.
