Walt Whitman

I have heard what the talkers were talking, the talk of the beginning and the end, But I do not talk of the beginning or the end.

Walt Whitman

I have learned that to be with those I like is enough.

Walt Whitman

I have no mockings or arguments; I witness and wait.

Walt Whitman

I have said that the soul is not more than the body, and I have said that the body is not more than the soul, and nothing, not God, is greater to one than one’s self is, and whoever walks a furlong without sympathy walks to his own funeral drest in his shroud.

Walt Whitman

I have sometimes thought that the laws ought not to punish those actions of evil which are committed when the senses are steeped in intoxication.

Walt Whitman

I hear and behold God in every object, yet understand God not in the least.

Walt Whitman

I keep thinking about you every few minutes all day.

Walt Whitman

I know nothing grander, better exercise, better digestion, more positive proof of the past, the triumphant result of faith in human kind, than a well-contested American national election.

Walt Whitman

I know perfectly well my own egotism, and know my omnivorous words, and cannot say any less, and would fetch you whoever you are flush with myself.

Walt Whitman

I love doctors and hate their medicine.
