More quotes by Henry Van Dyke
To desire and strive to be of some service to the world, to aim at doing something which shall really increase the happiness and welfare and virtue of mankind - this is a choice which is possible for all of us and surely it is a good haven to sail for.
Henry Van Dyke
Spend as much time as possible, with body and with spirit in God's out-of-doors.
Henry Van Dyke
If all the skies were sunshine Our faces would be fain To feel once more upon them The cooling splash of rain. If all the world were music, Our hearts would often long For one sweet strain of silence, To break the endless song If life were always merry, Our souls would seek relief, And rest from weary laughter In the quiet arms of grief.
Henry Van Dyke
Deeds not Words: I say so too! And yet I find it somehow true, A word may help a man in need, To nobler act and braver deed.
Henry Van Dyke
So in the heart, When, fading slowly down the past, Fond memories depart, And each that leaves it seems the last Long after all the rest are flown, Returns a solitary tone, The after-echo of departed years, And touches all the soul to tears.
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
Flowers rejoice when night is done, Lift their heads to greet the sun Sweetest looks and odours raise, In a silent hymn of praise.
Henry Van Dyke

Henry Van Dyke
Love is the heart s immortal thirst to be completely known and all forgiven.
Henry Van Dyke

Henry Van Dyke
Like water spilt upon the ground--alas, Our little lives flow swiftly on and pass Yet may they bring rich harvests and green grass!
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
Look around for a place to sow a few seeds.
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
A friend is what the heart needs all the time.
Henry Van Dyke
Gratitude is a two fold love - love coming to visit us, and love running out to greet a welcome guest.
Henry Van Dyke
A tear that trembles for a little while Upon the trembling eyelid, till the world Wavers within its circle like a dream, Holds more of meaning in its narrow orb Than all the distant landscape that it blurs.
Henry Van Dyke
I heard through the nightThe rush and the clamourThe pulse of the fightLike blows of Thor's hammerThe pattering flightOf the leaves, and the anguishedMoan of the forest vanquished.
Henry Van Dyke
A peace that depends on fear is nothing but a suppressed war.
