More quotes by Walt Whitman
I have learned that to be with those I like is enough.
Walt Whitman
I see that I am to wait for what will be exhibited by death.
Walt Whitman
Why are there men and women that while they are nigh me the sunlight expands my blood? Why when they leave me do my pennants of joy sink flat and lank?
Walt Whitman
The Past -- the dark unfathomed retrospect! The teeming gulf --the sleepers and the shadows! The past! the infinite greatness of the past! For what is the present after all but a growth out of the past?
Walt Whitman
What has miserable, inefficient Mexico...to do with the great mission of peopling the New World with a noble race?
Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman
The truth is simple. If it was complicated, everyone would understand it.
Walt Whitman
We consider bibles and religions divine I do not say they are not divine. I say they have all grown out of you, and may grow out of you still. It is not they who give the life, it is you who give the life.
Walt Whitman
I say you shall yet find the friend you were looking for.
Walt Whitman
A woman waits for me, she contains all, nothing lacking.
Walt Whitman
Clear and sweet is my soul, clear and sweet is all that is not my soul.
Walt Whitman
O magnet-South! O glistening perfumed South! My South! O quick mettle, rich blood, impulse and love! Good and evil! O all dear to me!
Walt Whitman
I find no sweeter fat than sticks to my own bones.
Walt Whitman
Either define the moment or the moment will define you.
Walt Whitman
I speak the password primeval I give the sign of democracy.
Walt Whitman
Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where I can walk undisturbed.
Walt Whitman
I say no body of men are fit to make Presidents, judges and generals, unless they themselves supply the best specimens of the same and that supplying one or two such specimens illuminates the whole body for a thousand years.
Walt Whitman
The earth is rude, silent, incomprehensible at first Be not discouraged - keep on - there are divine things, well envelop'd I swear to you there are divine things more beautiful than words can tell.
Walt Whitman
I do not doubt but the majest and beauty of the world are latent in any iota of the world I do not doubt there is far more in trivialities, insects, vulgar persons, slaves, dwarfs, weeds, rejected refuse than I have supposed.
Walt Whitman
I sing the body electric, The armies of those I love engirth me and I engirth them, They will not let me off till I go with them, respond to them, And discorrupt them, and charge them full with the charge of the soul.
Walt Whitman
