Walt Whitman Quotes and Quotations
 I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contain'd, I stand and look at them long and long, They do not sweat and whine about their condition, They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins, They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God, Not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of owning things. Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that liveth thousands of years ago, Not one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth. - Walt Whitman | Animals Quotes  Camerado, this is no book.

O the bleeding drops of red, Where on the deck my captain lies, Fallen cold and dead. - Walt Whitman | Lincoln Quotes Nothing endures but personal qualities. - Walt Whitman | Quality Quotes I loafe and invite my soul, I lean and loafe at my ease, observing a spear of summer grass. - Walt Whitman | Soul Quotes
