What is Fortune, what is Fame? Futile gold and phantom name- Riches buried in a cave, Glory written on a grave.

More quotes by Henry Van Dyke
For real company and friendship, there is nothing outside the animal kingdom that is comparable to a river.
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
Thou wayfaring Jesus - a pilgrim and stranger, Exiled from heaven by love at Thy birth: Exiled again from Thy rest in the manger, A fugitive child 'mid the perils of earth - Cheer with Thy fellowship all who are weary, Wandering far from the land that they love: Guide every heart that is homeless and dreary, Safe to its home in Thy presence above.
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 friend is what the heart needs all the time.
Henry Van Dyke
No matter what theory of the origin of government you adopt, if you follow it out to its legitimate conclusions it will bring you face to face with the moral law.
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
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
You may have to live in a crowd, but you do not have to live like it.
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
Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.
Henry Van Dyke
Man said, I am tired of kings! Sons of the robber-chiefs of yore, They make me pay for their lust and their war I am the puppet, they pull the strings The blood of my heart is the wine they drink. I will govern myself for awhile I think, And see what that brings!
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
The birth of Jesus is the sunrise in the Bible.
Henry Van Dyke
Love is not about getting - but giving.
Henry Van Dyke
The first day of spring is one thing, and the first spring day is another. The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month.
Henry Van Dyke
Spend as much time as possible, with body and with spirit in God's out-of-doors.
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
You can never begin to live until you dare to die.
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
