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
The worlds in which we live at heart are one, The world I am, the fruit of I have done And underneath these worlds of flower and fruit, The world I love,--the only living root.
Henry Van Dyke
For ever so our thoughtful hearts repeatOn fields of triumph dirges of defeatAnd still we turn on gala-days to treadAmong the rustling memories of the dead.
Henry Van Dyke
As long as habit and routine dictate the pattern of living, new dimensions of the soul will not emerge.

Those who would see wonderful things must often be ready to travel alone.
Henry Van Dyke
