Quote by Walt Whitman

Nothing endures but personal qualities.

Nothing endures but personal qualities.

Summary

This quote suggests that the only things that truly last and have a lasting impact are individual characteristics or traits. Material possessions, positions of power, or external accomplishments may come and go, but it is the inherent qualities within a person - such as integrity, kindness, intelligence, or resilience - that have the ability to withstand the test of time and leave a lasting impression on others. These personal qualities define who we are and how we are remembered, regardless of what other external circumstances may change or fade away.
