"Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you."
"There is no flaw or vacuum in the amount of the truth - but all is truth without exception; And henceforth I will go celebrate any thing I see or am, And sing and laugh and deny nothing."

More quotes by Walt Whitman
"Happiness, not in another place but this place...not for another hour, but this hour."
"This is what you should do: love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men ... re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss what insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem."
"We were together. I forget the rest."
"Either define the moment or the moment will define you."
"Re-examine all that you have been told... dismiss that which insults your soul."
