Deep Thoughts: From the Preface to Leaves of Grass, by Walt Whitman:
Love the earth and sun and the animals,
despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks,
stand up for the stupid and the crazy,
devote your income and labor to others,
hate tyrants, argue not concerning God,
have patience and indulgence toward the people,
take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men,
go freely with powerful uneducated persons
and with the young and with the mothers of families…
reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book,
dismiss whatever insults your own soul,
and your very flesh shall be a great poem.
