The greatest country, the richest country, is not that which has the most capitalists, monopolists, immense grabbings, vast fortunes, with its sad, sad soil of extreme, degrading, damning poverty, but the land in which there are the most homesteads, freeholds - where wealth does not show such contrasts high and low, where all men have enough - a modest living- and no man is made possessor beyond the sane and beautiful necessities.
Walt WhitmanPointing to another world will never stop vice among us; shedding light over this world can alone help us.
Walt WhitmanOld age: The estuary that enlarges and spreads itself grandly as it pours into the Great Sea.
