Henry Van Dyke
Image
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.

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

It is with rivers as it is with people: the greatest are not always the most agreeable nor the best to live with.

What is Fortune, what is Fame? Futile gold and phantom name- Riches buried in a cave, Glory written on a grave.
