More quotes by Henry Van Dyke
O' who will walk with me along lifes merry way? A comrade blithe and full of glee, who dares to laugh out loud and free.
Henry Van Dyke
Culture is the habit of being pleased with the best and knowing why.
Henry Van Dyke
A friend is what the heart needs all the time.
Henry Van Dyke
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
Count not the cost of honour to the dead!The tribute that a mighty nation paysTo those who loved her well in former daysMeans more than gratitude for glories fledFor every noble man that she hath bred,Lives in the bronze and marble that we raise,Immortalised by art's immortal praise,To lead our sons as he our fathers led.
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
Heaven often seems distant and unknown, but if He who made the road... is our guide, we need not fear to lose the way.
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
Genius is talent set on fire by courage.
Henry Van Dyke
For real company and friendship, there is nothing outside the animal kingdom that is comparable to a river.
Henry Van Dyke
The birth of Jesus is the sunrise in the Bible.
Henry Van Dyke
Love that leads life upward is the noblest and the best.
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
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.
Henry Van Dyke
Jazz: Music invented for the torture of imbeciles.
Henry Van Dyke
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
What you possess in the world will be found at the day of your death to belong to someone else. But what you are will be yours forever.
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
To desire and strive to be of some service to the world, to aim at doing something which shall really increase the happiness and welfare and virtue of mankind - this is a choice which is possible for all of us and surely it is a good haven to sail for.
Henry Van Dyke
Favorite People, Favorite Places, Favorite Memories of the past ... These are the joys of a lifetime Those are the things that last
