Simplicity is the glory of expression.
Walt Whitman
Image
Every hour of every day is an unspeakably perfect miracle.
Walt Whitman
Image
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
I have learned that to be with those I like is enough.
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.
Walt Whitman
Image
Re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul and your very flesh shall be a great poem, and have the richest fluency, not only in its words, but in the silent lines of its lips and face, and between the lashes of your eyes, and in every motion and joint of your body.
Walt Whitman
Image
I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable.
Walt Whitman
Image
A word of the faith that never balks, Here or henceforward it is all the same to me, I accept Time absolutely. It alone is without flaw, it alone rounds and completes all, That mystic baffling wonder alone completes all.
Walt Whitman
Image
These are the days that must happen to you.
Walt Whitman
Image
I am of old and young, of the foolish as much as the wise, Regardless of others, ever regardful of others, Maternal as well as paternal, a child as well as a man, Stuffed with the stuff that is course, and stuffed with the stuff that is fine.
Walt Whitman
Image
I am the man, I suffered, I was there.
Walt Whitman
Image
The dirtiest book of all is the expurgated book.
Walt Whitman
Image
I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don't believe I deserved my friends.
Walt Whitman
Image
Beautiful that war and all its deeds of carnage, must in time be utterly lost.
Walt Whitman
Image
I am as bad as the worst, but, thank God, I am as good as the best.
Walt Whitman
Image
How beggarly appear arguments before a defiant deed!
Walt Whitman
Image
There is no place like it, no place with an atom of its glory, pride, and exultancy. It lays its hand upon a man's bowels he grows drunk with ecstasy he grows young and full of glory, he feels that he can never die.
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
Where the earth is, we are.
Walt Whitman
Image
To the real artist in humanity, what are called bad manners are often the most picturesque and significant of all.
