"Was it doubted that those who corrupt..." - Quote by Walt Whitman

“I say no body of men are fit to make Presidents, judges and generals, unless they themselves supply the best specimens of the same; and that supplying one or two such specimens illuminates the whole body for a thousand years.”

“I am large, I contain multitudes”

“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 the people be led by laws, and uniformity sought to be given them by punishments, they will try to avoid the punishment, but have no sense of shame.”

“One ought to be just before one is generous”

“Being good is easy, what is difficult is being just.”

“A demd, damp, moist, unpleasant body!”

“What would a chair look like if your knees bent the other way?”

“The imagination and the senses cannot be gratified at the same time.”
