“This is what you shall do: love the earth and | Life Quotes

 

“This is what you shall do: love the earth and 
sun, and animals, despise riches, give alms to 
every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and 
crazy, devote your income and labor to others, 
hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have 
patience and indulgence towards the people, 
take off your hat to nothing known or unknown, or 
to any man or number of men; go freely with the 
powerful uneducated persons, and with the 
young, and mothers, of families: read these 
leaves in the open air every season of every 
year of your life: re-examine all you have been 
told at school or church, or in any books, and 
dismiss whatever insults your soul.”
-Walt Whitman
