More quotes by Walt Whitman
The President eats dirt and excrement for his daily meals, likes it and tries to force it on The States.
Walt Whitman
Clear and sweet is my soul, clear and sweet is all that is not my soul.
Walt Whitman
Strange, (is it not?) that battles, martyrs, blood, even assassination should so condense - perhaps only really lastingly condense - a Nationality.
Walt Whitman
...of two simple men I saw today on the pier in the midst of the crowd, parting the parting of dear friends, the one to remain hung on the other's neck and passionately kissed him. While the one to depart tightly pressed the one to remain in his arms.
Walt Whitman
Forsake all inhibitions, Pursue thy dreams.
Walt Whitman
Whatever satisfies the soul is truth.
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. One world is aware, and by the far the largest to me, and that is myself, And whether I come to my own today or in ten thousand or ten million years, I can cheerfully take it now, or with equal cheerfulness, I can wait.
Walt Whitman
Have you heard that it was good to gain the day? I also say it is good to fall, battles are lost in the same spirit in which they are won.
Walt Whitman
I swear to you, there are divine things more beautiful than words can tell
Walt Whitman
Through the ample open door of the peaceful country barn, A sun-lit pasture field, with cattle and horses feeding And haze, and vista, and the far horizon, fading away.
Walt Whitman
Have you reckon’d a thousand acres much? have you reckon’d the earth much? Have you practis’d so long to learn to read? Have you felt so proud to get at the meaning of poems?
Walt Whitman
I find letters from God dropt in the street, and every one is sign'd by God's name.
Walt Whitman
Dazzling and tremendous how quick the sun-rise would kill me, if I could not now and always send sun-rise out of me.
Walt Whitman
The Americans, like the English, probably make love worse than any other race.
Walt Whitman
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.
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
A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.
Walt Whitman
I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars.
Walt Whitman
Long and long has the grass been growing, Long and long has the rain been falling, Long has the globe been rolling round.
Walt Whitman
Freedom - to walk free and own no superior.
Walt Whitman
