Oh, London is a man's town, there's power in the air And Paris is a woman's town, with flowers in her hair And it's sweet to dream in Venice, and it's great to study Rome But when it comes to living, there is no place like home.
Henry Van Dyke

More quotes by Henry Van Dyke
The worlds in which we live at heart are one, The world I am, the fruit of I have done And underneath these worlds of flower and fruit, The world I love,--the only living root.
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

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
Heaven often seems distant and unknown, but if He who made the road... is our guide, we need not fear to lose the way.
Henry Van Dyke
Who can explain the secret pathos of Nature's loveliness? It is a touch of melancholy inherited from our mother Eve. It is an unconscious memory of the lost Paradise. It is the sense that even if we should find another Eden, we would not be fit to enjoy it perfectly nor stay in it forever.
Henry Van Dyke
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.
Henry Van Dyke
The birth of Jesus is the sunrise in the Bible.

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
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
I'm only wishing to go a-fishingFor this the month of May was made.
Henry Van Dyke
Love that leads life upward is the noblest and the best.
Henry Van Dyke
Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love, to work, to play, and to look up at the stars.
Henry Van Dyke
You can never begin to live until you dare to die.
