Walt Whitman
  • Henceforth I ask not good fortune. I myself am good fortune.

  • Have you learned the lessons only of those who admired you, and were tender with you, and stood aside for you? Have you not learned great lessons from those who braced themselves against you, and disputed passage with you?

  • I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game.

  • And your very flesh shall be a great poem.

  • A great city is that which has the greatest men and women.
