Whitman's Words Still Good to Live By
by John Nichols

One hundred and fifty years ago this week, an unknown New York poet named Walt Whitman began advertising for
sale his self-published collection, "Leaves of Grass."

Whitman was distributing more than the 795 copies of the book, however; he was giving himself to America.

"I celebrate myself,

"And what I assume you shall assume,

"For every atom belonging to me as well belongs to you."


last paragraph has the advice.
