"The powerful play goes on and you..." - Quote by Walt Whitman

“And as to you Death, and you bitter hug of mortality, it is idle to try to alarm me.”

“Do you see O my brothers and sisters? It is not chaos or death, it is form, union, plan, it is eternal life, it is happiness.”

“O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?”

“A contented spirit is the sweetness of existence.”

“To live a better life,--this surely can be done.”

“Freedom means you are unobstructed in living your life as you choose. Anything less is a form of slavery.”

“Life at its noblest leaves mere happiness far behind; and indeed cannot endure it. Happiness is not the object of life: life has no object: it is an end in itself; and courage consists in the readiness to sacrifice happiness for an intenser quality of life.”

“Wealth is good when it brings joy to others.”

“People start their lives at last when they are able to live for something other than themselves.”
