Who seeks for heaven alone to save his soul, May keep the path, but will not reach the goal While he who walks in love may wander far, Yet God will bring him where the blessed are.

More quotes by Henry Van Dyke
Lord, when my spirit shall return to thee, At the foot of a friendly tree let my body be buried, That this dust may rise and rejoice among the branches.
Henry Van Dyke
Some succeed because they are destined to, but most succeed because they are determined to.
Henry Van Dyke
Courage is the standing army of the soul which keeps it from conquest, pillage, and slavery.

Jazz: Music invented for the torture of imbeciles.
Henry Van Dyke
Let me but find it in my heart to say, When vagrant wishes beckon me astray, This is my work my blessing, not my doom Of all who live, I am the one by whom This work can best be done in the right way.
Henry Van Dyke
Count not the cost of honour to the dead!The tribute that a mighty nation paysTo those who loved her well in former daysMeans more than gratitude for glories fledFor every noble man that she hath bred,Lives in the bronze and marble that we raise,Immortalised by art's immortal praise,To lead our sons as he our fathers led.
Henry Van Dyke
What is Fortune, what is Fame? Futile gold and phantom name- Riches buried in a cave, Glory written on a grave.
Henry Van Dyke
But this I know. Those who seek Him will do well to look among the poor and the lowly, the sorrowful and the oppressed.
Henry Van Dyke
We measure success by accumulation. The measure is false. The true measure is appreciation. He who loves most has most.
Henry Van Dyke
It is with rivers as it is with people: the greatest are not always the most agreeable nor the best to live with.
Henry Van Dyke
Spend as much time as possible, with body and with spirit in God's out-of-doors.
Henry Van Dyke
What you possess in the world will be found at the day of your death to belong to someone else. But what you are will be yours forever.
Henry Van Dyke
What do I owe my father? Everything!
Henry Van Dyke
You may have to live in a crowd, but you do not have to live like it.
Henry Van Dyke
Modest egotism is the salt of conversation you do not want too much of it, but if it is altogether omitted, everything tastes flat.
Henry Van Dyke
The more keenly we are awake to the perils of life, the higher and grander is the possibility of being truly brave.
Henry Van Dyke
A peaceful man must fight For that which peace demands, Freedom and faith, honor and right, Defend with heart and hands.
Henry Van Dyke
Even if we should find another Eden, we would not be fit to enjoy it perfectly nor stay in it forever.
Henry Van Dyke
So let the way wind up the hill or down, O’er rough or smooth, the journey will be joy Still seeking what I sought when but a boy, New friendship, high adventure, and a crown. My heart will keep the courage of the quest, And hope the road’s last turn will be the best.
Henry Van Dyke
There is no conflict between the Old and the New the conflict is between the False and the True.
Henry Van Dyke
