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
A peace that depends on fear is nothing but a suppressed war.
Henry Van Dyke
Happiness is inward, and not outward and so, it does not depend on what we have, but on what we are.
