Nothing endures but personal qualities.
Walt Whitman
Image
I inhale great draught of space...the east and west are mine...and the north and south are mine...I am grandeur than I thought...I did not know i held so much goodness.
Walt Whitman
Image
Charity and personal force are the only investments worth anything.
Walt Whitman
Image
All truths wait in all things, They neither hasten their own delivery nor resist it, They do not need the obstetric forceps of the surgeon, The insignificant is as big to me as any, (What is less or more than a touch).
Walt Whitman
Image
I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable.
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

O magnet-South! O glistening perfumed South! My South! O quick mettle, rich blood, impulse and love! Good and evil! O all dear to me!
Walt Whitman

And whoever walks a furlong without sympathy walks to his own funeral drest in his shroud.
Walt Whitman

The jour printer with gray head and gaunt jaws works at his case, He turns his quid of tobacco, while his eyes blur with the manuscript.
Walt Whitman
Image
And I will show that there is no imperfection in the present, and can be none in the future, And I will show that whatever happens to anybody it may be turned to beautiful results.
Walt Whitman
Image
An electric chain seems to vibrate, as it were, between our brain and him or her preserved there [in a Daguerreotype] so well by the limner's cunning. Time, space, both are annihilated, and we identify the semblance with the reality.
Walt Whitman
Image
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
Image
I know nothing grander, better exercise, better digestion, more positive proof of the past, the triumphant result of faith in human kind, than a well-contested American national election.
Walt Whitman
Image
Whoever you are, motion and reflection are especially for you, The divine ship sails the divine sea for you.
Walt Whitman
Image
The work for giants...to serve well the guns!
Walt Whitman
Image
O Captain my Captain! our fearful trip is done, / The ship has weathered every rack, the prize we sought is won
Walt Whitman
Image
Once fully enslaved, no nation, state, city of this earth ever afterward resumes its liberty.
Walt Whitman
Image
Henceforth I ask not good fortune. I myself am good fortune.
Walt Whitman
Image
I say to mankind, Be not curious about God. For I, who am curious about each, am not curious about God - I hear and behold God in every object, yet understand God not in the least.
Walt Whitman
Image
And as to you Death, and you bitter hug of mortality, it is idle to try to alarm me.
