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

"Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you."

"The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity."

"Re-examine all you have been told. Dismiss what insults your soul."

"I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I loveIf you want me again look for me under your boot-soles.You will hardly know who I am or what I meanBut I shall be good health to you nonethelessAnd filter and fibre your blood."
