"I do not ask the wounded person..." - Quote by Walt Whitman

“There was never any more inception than there is now,Nor any more youth or age than there is now;And will never be any more perfection than there is now,Nor any more heaven or hell than there is now.”

“O to be self-balanced for contingencies, to confront night, storms, hunger, ridicule, accidents, rebuffs, as the trees and animals do.”

“In all people I see myself - none more, and not one a barleycorn less; And the good or bad I say of myself, I say of them.”

“If you're hurting, you need to help somebody else ease their hurt. If you're in pain, help somebody else's pain.”

“All things are already complete in us. There is no greater delight than to be conscious of right within us. If one strives to treat others as he would be treated by them, he shall not fail to come near the perfect life.”

“We bear, all of us, the misfortunes of other people with heroic constancy.”

“It is not in how one soul approaches another but in how it withdraws that I knowr its affinity and solidarity with the other.”

“In time of crisis people want to know that you care, more than they care what you know”

“Man can find no better retreat from the world than art, and man can find no stronger link with the world than art.”
