More quotes by 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
And a mouse is miracle enough to stagger sextillions of infidels.
Walt Whitman
Image
I say the whole earth and all the stars in the sky are for religion's sake.
Walt Whitman
Image
The truest and greatest Poetry, (while subtly and necessarily always rhythmic, and distinguishable easily enough) can never again, in the English language, be express'd in arbitrary and rhyming metre, any more than the greatest eloquence, or the truest power and passion.
Walt Whitman
Image
The road to wisdom is paved with excess. The mark of a true writer is their ability to mystify the familiar and familiarize the strange.
Walt Whitman
Image
Sure as the most certain sure, plumb in the uprights, well entretied, braced in the beams, Stout as a horse, affectionate, haughty, electrical, I and this mystery here we stand.
Walt Whitman
Image
There was a child went forth every day, And the first object he looked upon, that object he became.
Walt Whitman
Image
An individual is as superb as a nation when he has the qualities which make a superb nation.
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.
Walt Whitman
Image
I hate commas in the wrong places.
Walt Whitman
Image
From this hour I ordain myself loos'd of limits and imaginary lines. Going where I list, my own master, total and absolute. Listening to others, and considering well what they say. Pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating. Gently but with undeniable will, divesting myself of the holds that would hold me.
Walt Whitman
Image
Apart from the pulling and hauling stands what I am, Stands amused, complacent, compassionating, idle, unitary, Looks down, is erect, or bends an arm on an impalpable certain rest, Looking with side-curved head curious what will come next, Both in and out of the game and watching and wondering at it.
Walt Whitman
Image
Pointing to another world will never stop vice among us shedding light over this world can alone help us.
Walt Whitman
Image
What a devil art thou, Poverty! How many desires - how many aspirations after goodness and truth - how many noble thoughts, loving wishes toward our fellows, beautiful imaginings thou hast crushed under thy heel, without remorse or pause!
Walt Whitman
Image
All truths wait in all things,/They neither hasten their own delivery nor resist it
Walt Whitman
Image
O the joy of my spirit--it is uncaged--it darts like lightning! It is not enough to have this globe or a certain time, I will have thousands of globes and all time.
Walt Whitman
Image
I swear I think there is nothing but immortality!
Walt Whitman
Image
There is no God any more divine than Yourself.
Walt Whitman
Image
Henceforth I ask not good fortune. I myself am good fortune.
Walt Whitman
Image
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.
