Love the earth and sun and the animals - Walt Whitman

Love the earth and sun and the animals.
Despise riches, give alms to every one that asks. 

Stand up for the stupid and crazy.
Devote your income and labor to others...

Re-examine all you have been told
at school or church or in any book,
dismiss whatever insults your own soul,

and your very flesh shall be a great poem
and have the richest fluency
not only in its words but in
the silent lines of its lips and face

and between the lashes of your eyes and
in every motion and joint of your body.”
― Walt Whitman,
Leaves of Grass
