Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.
I am as bad as the worst, but, thank God, I am as good as the best.
I have learned that to be with those I like is enough.
Every moment of light and dark is a miracle.
The future is no more uncertain than the present.
Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes.
The strongest and sweetest song remains to be sung
My words itch at your ears till you understand them
Charity and personal force are the only investments worth anything.
Give me the splendid, silent sun with all his beams full-dazzling.
We convince by our presence.
O Captain! My Captain! our fearful trip is done.
Resist much, obey little.
Love the earth and sun and animals, Despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks, Stand up for the stupid and crazy, Devote your income and labor to others... And your very flesh shall be a great poem.
