Additional quotes by Walt Whitman

It is not they who give the life, it is you who give the life, Leaves are not more shed from the trees, or trees from the earth, than they are shed out of you.

I also say it is good to fall, battles are lost in the same spirit in which they are won.

"To confront night, storms, hunger, ridicule, accidents, rebuffs, as the trees and animals do."
