"I henceforth tread the world, chaste, temperate,..." - Quote by Walt Whitman

“Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space.”

“How beggarly appear arguments before a defiant deed!”

“I act as the tongue of you, ... tied in your mouth . . . . in mine it begins to be loosened.”

“The player who expects a lesson to 'take' without subsequent practice just isn't being honest with himself or fair to his professional.”

“My procrastination which has held me back was born of fear ... now I know that to conquer fear I must always act without hesitation and the flutters in my heart will vanish. Now I know that action reduces the lion of terror.... I will walk where the failure fears to walk.”

“I teach the No to all that makes weak--that exhausts. I teach the Yes to all that strengthens, that stores up strength, that pride.”

“Shun idleness. It is rust that attaches itself to the most brilliant metals.”

“Consistency: It's the jewel worth wearing; It's the anchor worth weighing; It's the thread worth weaving; It's a battle worth winning.”

“Blot out vain pomp; check impulse; quench appetite; keep reason under its own control.”
