Happy Birthday, Walt


No — not Disney. Whitman.

(That’s what we get for writing for eighth-graders.)

A few of our favorite Whitman quotes, pulled especially for professional communicators:

  • “All faults may be forgiven of him who has perfect candor.”
  • “Be curious, not judgmental.”
  • “Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes.”
  • “To have great poets, there must be great audiences.”
  • “If you done it, it ain’t bragging.”

      If you’re a big Walt fan, pick up ‘Specimen Days’ by Michael Cunningham (he wrote ‘The Hours’). Walt makes a brief appearance and ‘Leaves of Grass’ is practically a character. I’m in the middle of this book right now for my book club. Highly recommended.
