More quotes by Henry Van Dyke
Love is the heart s immortal thirst to be completely known and all forgiven.
Henry Van Dyke
Some succeed because they are destined to, but most succeed because they are determined to.
Henry Van Dyke
Jazz: Music invented for the torture of imbeciles.
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
Deeds not Words: I say so too! And yet I find it somehow true, A word may help a man in need, To nobler act and braver deed.
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
No amount of energy will take the place of thought. A strenuous life with its eyes shut is a kind of wild insanity.
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
No amount of energy will take the place of thought.
Henry Van Dyke
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
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
There is no conflict between the Old and the New the conflict is between the False and the True.
Henry Van Dyke
In warlike pomp, with banners flowing, The regiments of autumn stood: I saw their gold and scarlet glowing From every hillside, every wood.
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
Use what talents you possess the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.
Henry Van Dyke
The birth of Jesus is the sunrise in the Bible.
Henry Van Dyke
A peace that depends on fear is nothing but a suppressed war.
Henry Van Dyke
Culture is the habit of being pleased with the best and knowing why.
Henry Van Dyke
Hymns of today that may be sung by people who know the thought of the age...are not afraid that any truth of science will destroy Christianity, or any revolution will overthrow the Kingdom of Heaven.
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
