"BEHAVIOR—fresh, native, copious, each one for himself or herself,  
Nature and the Soul expressed—America and freedom expressed—
In it the finest art,
In it pride, cleanliness, sympathy... 
In it physique, intellect, faith... 
For there is nothing in the whole universe
that can be more effective than
a man’s or woman’s daily behavior can be,  
In any position, in any one of These States."

Walt Whitman, "Behavior," Leaves of Grass.
