"And whoever walks a furlong without sympathy walks to his own funeral drest in his shroud." ― Walt Whitman Topic(s): Sympathy More From Walt Whitman "Oh while I live, to be the ruler of life, not a slave, to meet life as a powerful conqueror, and nothing exterior to me will ever take command of me." "Let your soul stand cool and composed before a million universes." "Henceforth I ask not good fortune. I myself am good fortune." More In Sympathy "Freedom is the oxygen of the soul."― Moshe Dayan "I think we were raised in a nice Texas Jewish family where education was the most important thing, and close behind that was the arts. It was emphasized and expected that we’d play piano."― Lisa Loeb "Here’s my rule: You always want to pay cash for your own books, because if they look at the name on the credit card and then they look at the name on the book jacket, then there’s this look of such profound sympathy for you that you had to resort to this. It really is withering."― Carl Hiaasen
