More quotes by Henry Van Dyke
A flawless cup: how delicate and fine The flowing curve of every jewelled line! Look, turn it up or down, 'tis perfect still-- But holds no drop of life's heart-warming wine.
Henry Van Dyke
Culture is the habit of being pleased with the best and knowing why.
Henry Van Dyke
Religion? Yes, I know it well I've heard its prayers and creeds, And seen men put them all to shame with poor, half-hearted deeds. They follow Christ, but far away they wander and they doubt. I'll serve him in a better way, and live his precepts out.
Henry Van Dyke
For real company and friendship, there is nothing outside the animal kingdom that is comparable to a river.
Henry Van Dyke
You can never begin to live until you dare to die.
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
Natural beauty and wonder are priceless heirlooms which God has bestowed upon our nation. How shall we escape the contempt of the coming generation if we suffer this irreplaceable heritage to be wasted?
Henry Van Dyke
For ever so our thoughtful hearts repeatOn fields of triumph dirges of defeatAnd still we turn on gala-days to treadAmong the rustling memories of the dead.
Henry Van Dyke
What is Friendship? Something deep That the heart can spend and keep: Wealth that greatens while we give, Praise that heartens us to live.
Henry Van Dyke

Henry Van Dyke
Love that leads life upward is the noblest and the best.
Henry Van Dyke
A clean and sensitive conscience, a steady and scrupulous integrity in small things as well as large, is the most valuable of all possessions, to a nation as to an individual.
Henry Van Dyke
No amount of energy will take the place of thought.
Henry Van Dyke
Tact is the unsaid part of what you think.
Henry Van Dyke
Be grateful for the tiny details of your life and make room for unexpected and beautiful blessings.
Henry Van Dyke
The birth of Jesus is the sunrise in the Bible.
Henry Van Dyke
The shadow by my finger cast Divides the future from the past: Before it, sleeps the unborn hour, In darkness, and beyond thy power. Behind its unreturning line, The vanished hour, no longer thine: One hour alone is in thy hands,- The NOW on which the shadow stands.
Henry Van Dyke
Fidelity is simply daring to be true in small things as well as great.
Henry Van Dyke
