More quotes by 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
Gratitude is a two fold love - love coming to visit us, and love running out to greet a welcome guest.
Henry Van Dyke
You may have to live in a crowd, but you do not have to live like it.
Henry Van Dyke
Use what talents you possess the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.

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

Henry Van Dyke

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
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
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
This is the soldier brave enough to tellThe glory-dazzled world that war is hell:Lover of peace, he looks beyond the strife,And rides through hell to save his country's life.
Henry Van Dyke
We are all swimmers in God's mighty sea.
Henry Van Dyke
Half of the secular unrest and dismal, profane sadness of modern society comes from the vain ideas that every man is bound to be a critic for life.
