More quotes by Henry Van Dyke

Image
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
Image
Love that leads life upward is the noblest and the best.
Henry Van Dyke
Image
As long as habit and routine dictate the pattern of living, new dimensions of the soul will not emerge.
Henry Van Dyke
Image
Gratitude is a two fold love - love coming to visit us, and love running out to greet a welcome guest.
Henry Van Dyke
Image
So in the heart, When, fading slowly down the past, Fond memories depart, And each that leaves it seems the last Long after all the rest are flown, Returns a solitary tone,— The after-echo of departed years,— And touches all the soul to tears.
Henry Van Dyke
Image
Peace without Justice is a low estate,— A coward cringing to an iron Fate! But Peace through Justice is the great ideal,— We'll pay the price of war to make it real.
Henry Van Dyke
Image
A friend is what the heart needs all the time.
Henry Van Dyke
Image
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
Image
Happiness is inward, and not outward and so, it does not depend on what we have, but on what we are.
Henry Van Dyke
Image
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
Image
A flawless cup: how delicate and fine The flowing curve of every jewelled line! Look, turn it up or down, 'tis perfect still-- But holds no drop of life's heart-warming wine.
Henry Van Dyke
Image
There are two good rules which ought to be written on every heart - never to believe anything bad about anybody unless you positively know it to be true never to tell even that unless you feel that it is absolutely necessary, and that God is listening.
Henry Van Dyke
Image
Who can explain the secret pathos of Nature's loveliness? It is a touch of melancholy inherited from our mother Eve. It is an unconscious memory of the lost Paradise. It is the sense that even if we should find another Eden, we would not be fit to enjoy it perfectly nor stay in it forever.
Henry Van Dyke
Image
Be grateful for the tiny details of your life and make room for unexpected and beautiful blessings.

I'm only wishing to go a-fishingFor this the month of May was made.

We are all swimmers in God's mighty sea.

Genius is talent set on fire by courage.

Image
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
Image
We measure success by accumulation. The measure is false. The true measure is appreciation. He who loves most has most.

Use what talents you possess the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.
