BEHAVIOR--fresh, native, copious, each one for himself or herself, <br /> Nature and the Soul expressed--America and freedom expressed--In it <br /> the finest art, <br /> In it pride, cleanliness, sympathy, to have their chance, <br /> In it physique, intellect, faith--in it just as much as to manage an <br /> army or a city, or to write a book--perhaps more, <br /> The youth, the laboring person, the poor person, rivalling all the <br /> rest--perhaps outdoing the rest, <br /> The effects of the universe no greater than its; <br /> For there is nothing in the whole universe that can be more effective <br /> than a man's or woman's daily behavior can be, <br /> In any position, in any one of These States.<br /><br />Walt Whitman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/behavior/
