I am larger, better than I thought; I did not know I held so... - Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass

"I am larger, better than I thought; I did not know I held so much goodness.All seems beautiful to me.Whoever denies me, it shall not trouble me; Whoever accepts me, he or she shall be blessed, and shall bless me."

"If you want me again look for me under your boot soles."
"Peace is always beautiful."
"This is thy hour O Soul, thy free flight into the wordless, Away from books, away from art, the day erased, the lesson done,Thee fully forth emerging, silent, gazing, pondering the themes thou lovest best. Night, sleep, and the stars."
"I celebrate myself, and sing myself, And what I assume you shall assume,For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you."
