More quotes by Walt Whitman
Nothing endures but personal qualities.
Walt Whitman
I have learned that to be with those I like is enough.
Walt Whitman
Every cubic inch of space is a miracle.
Walt Whitman
A writer can do nothing for men more necessary, satisfying, than just simply to reveal to them the infinite possibility of their own souls.
Walt Whitman
We also ascend dazzling and tremendous as the sun, We found our own O my soul in the calm and cool of the daybreak.
Walt Whitman
Seeing, hearing, feeling, are miracles, and each part and tag of me is a miracle.
Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman
I love doctors and hate their medicine.
Walt Whitman
There will never be any more perfection than there is now.
Walt Whitman
The purpose of democracy - supplanting old belief in the necessary absoluteness of establish'd dynastic rulership, temporal, ecclesiastical, and scholastic, as furnishing the only security against chaos, crime, and ignorance - is, through many transmigrations, and amid endless ridicules, arguments, and ostensible failures
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
I refuse putting from me the best that I am.
Walt Whitman
As soon as histories are properly told there is no more need of romances.
Walt Whitman
Most works are most beautiful without ornament.
Walt Whitman
I cannot too often repeat that Democracy is a word the real gist of which still sleeps, quite unawakened, notwithstanding the resonance and the many angry tempests out of which its syllables have come, from pen or tongue. It is a great word, whose history, I suppose, remains unwritten because that history has yet to be enacted.
Walt Whitman
Great is the faith of the flush of knowledge and of the investigation of the depths of qualities and things.
Walt Whitman
The female that loves unrequited sleeps, And the male that loves unrequited sleeps, The head of the money-maker that plotted all day sleeps, And the enraged and treacherous dispositions, all, all sleep.
Walt Whitman
The beautiful uncut hair of graves.
Walt Whitman
Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.
Walt Whitman
Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where I can walk undisturbed.
Walt Whitman
