Quote by Walt Whitman

O public road, I say back I am not afraid to leave you, yet I love you, you express me better than I can express myself.

O public road, I say back I am not afraid to leave you, yet

Summary

While they declare that they are not afraid to leave and explore beyond it, they also express a deep affection for the road. The speaker believes that the road is able to convey their true self and experiences better than they can personally articulate. It highlights the idea that sometimes, the outside world can offer a deeper understanding and expression of oneself than what one can achieve on their own.

Putting $10.00 in the bank or talking to your stockbroker about your investment plans are activities that will move you toward your goal.
