The gift is to the giver, and comes back most to him - it cannot fail

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

Walt Whitman
Image
What beauty there is in words what a lurking curious charm in the sound some words.
Walt Whitman

I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don't believe I deserved my friends.
Walt Whitman
Image
Whoever degrades another degrades me, And whatever is done or said returns at last to me.
Walt Whitman
Image
I know I am deathless. No doubt I have died myself ten thousand times before. I laugh at what you call dissolution, and I know the amplitude of time.
Walt Whitman
Image
Many a good man I have seen go under.
