Quote

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

Modest egotism is the salt of conversation you do not want too much of it, but if it is altogether omitted, everything tastes flat.
Henry Van Dyke
Image
What is Fortune, what is Fame? Futile gold and phantom name- Riches buried in a cave, Glory written on a grave.
Henry Van Dyke
Image
How fascinating is death, the extinction of life. One moment here and the next gone. The light put out and only the empty bag of the body left.

As long as habit and routine dictate the pattern of living, new dimensions of the soul will not emerge.
Henry Van Dyke
Image
Flowers rejoice when night is done, Lift their heads to greet the sun Sweetest looks and odours raise, In a silent hymn of praise.
