"Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself"
-Suzanne Somers
This quote is very true, considering the fact that if you don't give yourself the ability to forgive then you will regret it. Staying mad is not healthy for anyone, and forgiveness is the only way to let out anger in a good way. One of the many different definitions for forgiveness is the ability to excuse a fault or an offense. If you don't do this then you will stay mad at that person or fault and take out your anger in a wrong way or on the wrong person.

Thought of the day: Life Law 6
"You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses"- Ziggy
The meaning of this quote is don't complain about what you have, embrace what you are lucky enough to have because some people don't have anything. You can't always get what you want but life isn't about what you want its about what you need.

Thought of the day: Life Law 5
"Be, do, have. If you do nothing you will have nothing."
This quote is very true if you do nothing now then you will want to later but your not going to have the chance because you didn't work hard enough for it. Like for example say your in high school and you do nothing, get bad grades and don't care. Then you figure out that you aren't going to graduate. Its too late to make up for all that time you wasted before, so you don't graduate high school then all your friends are going to college and your trying to get a job, but its hard because you don't have your diploma.

Thoughts. by Walt Whitman
The reason I chose Thoughts is because it stood out to me. I really didn't like many of Walt Whitman's poems so the fact that i liked this one was great. I really understood this poem and I'm not a big fan of poetry.I believe that Walt Whitman was a great poet and I hope to find more poets like him.
Thoughts. by Walt Whitman
OF Public Opinion;
Of a calm and cool fiat, sooner or later, (How impassive! How certain and final!)
Of the President with pale face, asking secretly to himself, What will the people say
at
last?
Of the frivolous Judge—Of the corrupt Congressman, Governor, Mayor—Of such as
these,
standing helpless and exposed;
Of the mumbling and screaming priest—(soon, soon deserted;)
Of the lessening, year by year, of venerableness, and of the dicta of officers, statutes,
pulpits, schools;
Of the rising forever taller and stronger and broader, of the intuitions of men and women,
and
of self-esteem, and of personality;
—Of the New World—Of the Democracies, resplendent, en-masse;
Of the conformity of politics, armies, navies, to them and to me,
Of the shining sun by them—Of the inherent light, greater than the rest,
Of the envelopment of all by them, and of the effusion of all from them.

Walt Whitman
Walt Whitman was an american poet. He transformed from an unoriginal and conventional poet into one who abruptly abandoned conventional rhyme and meter and, in jottings begun at this time, exploiteds the odd loveliness of homely imagery, finding beauty in the commonplace but expressing it in an uncommon way. He worked for a lawyer for his first job, and then for a newspaper. Walt was both a romanticist and a realist because he wrote both types of poems.
Walt Whitman Poem
O Captain! My Captain!
| The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won; | |
| The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, | |
| While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring: | |
| But O heart! heart! heart! | |
| O the bleeding drops of red, | |
| Where on the deck my Captain lies, | |
| Fallen cold and dead | |
-Walt Whitman was an american poet | |
| Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills; | |
| For you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding; | |
| For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning; | |
| Here Captain! dear father! | |
| This arm beneath your head; | |
| It is some dream that on the deck, | |
| You’ve fallen cold and dead. | |
| My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will; | |
| The ship is anchor’d safe and sound, its voyage closed and done; | |
| From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won; | |
| Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells! | |
| But I, with mournful tread, | |
| Walk the deck my Captain lies, | |
| Fallen cold and dead. |
