Image
Do anything, but let it produce joy.
Walt Whitman
Image
There's a man in the world who is never turned down, whatever he chances to stray he gets the glad hand in the populous town, or out where the farmers makes hay he's greeted with pleasure on deserts of sand, and deep in the aisles of the woods wherever he goes there's a welcoming hand-he's the man who delivers the goods.
Walt Whitman
Image
Each of us inevitable Each of us limitless-each of us with his or her right upon the earth.
Walt Whitman
Image
O joy of suffering! To struggle against great odds! to meet enemies undaunted! To be entirely alone with them! to find how much one can stand! To look strife, torture, prison, popular odium, death, face to face! To mount the scaffold! to advance to the muzzles of guns with perfect nonchalance! To be indeed a God!
Walt Whitman
Image
I am for those who believe in loose delights, I share the midnight orgies of young men, I dance with the dancers and drink with the drinkers.
Walt Whitman
Image
Let that which stood in front go behind, let that which was behind advance to the front, let bigots, fools, unclean persons, offer new propositions, let the old propositions be postponed.
Walt Whitman
Image
I do not think seventy years is the time of a man or woman, Nor that seventy millions of years is the time of a man or woman, Nor that years will ever stop the existence of me, or any one else.
Walt Whitman
Image
I give you my hand, I give you my love more precious than money, I give you myself before preaching or law Will you give me yourself?
Walt Whitman
Image
The sum of all known value and respect, I add up in you, whoever you are.
Walt Whitman
Image
Oh, to be alive in such an age, when miracles are everywhere, and every inch of common air throbs a tremendous prophecy, of greater marvels yet to be.
Walt Whitman
Image
You road I enter upon and look around, I believe you are not all that is here, I believe much unseen is also here
Walt Whitman
Image
You want to know a sure way to lose money? Buy what's popular and don't know what you are investing in.
Walt Whitman
Image
I am large, I contain multitudes
Walt Whitman
Image
Ah little recks the laborer, How near his work is holding him to God, The loving Laborer through space and time
Walt Whitman
Image
My little notebooks were beginnings - they were the ground into which I dropped the seed... I would work in this way when I was out in the crowds, then put the stuff together at home.
Walt Whitman
Image
I sound my barbaric yawp over the rooftops of the world.
Walt Whitman
Image
When I undertake to tell the best, I find I cannot. My tongue is ineffectual on its pivots, My breath will not be obedient to its organs, I become a dumb man.
Walt Whitman
Image
I will write the evangel-poem of comrades and of love.
Walt Whitman
Image
I swear to you, there are divine things more beautiful than words can tell
Walt Whitman

The truth is simple. If it was complicated, everyone would understand it.
