“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 lived thousands of years ago, Not one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth.”
― Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass: The Death-Bed Edition

“I am large, I contain multitudes”
― Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass

“I was not proud of what I had learned but I never doubted that it was worth knowing.”

“We cannot expect people to have respect for law and order until we teach respect to those we have entrusted to enforce those laws.”
