The earth does not argue, Is not pathetic, has no arrangements, Does not scream, haste, persuade, threaten, promise, Makes no discriminations, has no conceivable failures, Closes nothing, refuses nothing, shuts none out.

More quotes by Walt Whitman
I am too not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable, I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world.
Walt Whitman
I say the whole earth and all the stars in the sky are for religion's sake.
Walt Whitman
Roaming in thought over the Universe, I saw the little that is Good steadily hastening towards immortality, And the vast all that is called Evil I saw hastening to merge itself and become lost and dead.
Walt Whitman
Day by day and night by night we were together - all else has long been forgotten by me.
Walt Whitman
Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road. Healthy, free, the world before me. The long brown path before me leading me wherever I choose. Henceforth, I ask not good fortune, I myself am good fortune. Henceforth, I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing.
Walt Whitman
O to speed where there is space enough and air enough at last!
Walt Whitman
The proof of a poet is that his country absorbs him as affectionately as he has absorbed it.
Walt Whitman
I dance with the dancers.
Walt Whitman
The dirtiest book of all is the expurgated book.
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
The sum of all known value and respect, I add up in you, whoever you are.
Walt Whitman
Swiftly arose and spread around me the peace and knowledge that pass all the argument of the earth, And I know that the hand of God is the promise of my own, And I know that the spirit of God is the brother of my own, And that all the men ever born are also my brothers, and the women my sisters and lovers, And that a kelson of the creation is love.
Walt Whitman
The smallest sprout shows there is really no death.
Walt Whitman
When lilacs last in the dooryard bloom'd / And the great star early droop'd in the western sky in the night, / I mourn'd, and yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring.
Walt Whitman
I act as the tongue of you, ... tied in your mouth . . . . in mine it begins to be loosened.
Walt Whitman
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
The President eats dirt and excrement for his daily meals, likes it and tries to force it on The States.
Walt Whitman
I hate commas in the wrong places.
Walt Whitman
I will write the evangel-poem of comrades and of love.
Walt Whitman
Thought Of equality- as if it harm'd me, giving others the same chances and rights as myself- as if it were not indispensable to my own rights that others possess the same.
Walt Whitman
