A peaceful man must fight For that which peace demands, Freedom and faith, honor and right, Defend with heart and hands.
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
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
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
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
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
What is Friendship? Something deep That the heart can spend and keep: Wealth that greatens while we give, Praise that heartens us to live.
Henry Van Dyke
Jazz: Music invented for the torture of imbeciles.
Henry Van Dyke
Spend as much time as possible, with body and with spirit in God's out-of-doors.
Henry Van Dyke
Some succeed because they are destined to, but most succeed because they are determined to.
Henry Van Dyke
Like water spilt upon the ground--alas, Our little lives flow swiftly on and pass Yet may they bring rich harvests and green grass!
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
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
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
You can never begin to live until you dare to die.
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
Happiness is inward, and not outward and so, it does not depend on what we have, but on what we are.
Henry Van Dyke
What is Fortune, what is Fame? Futile gold and phantom name- Riches buried in a cave, Glory written on a grave.
Henry Van Dyke
A tear that trembles for a little while Upon the trembling eyelid, till the world Wavers within its circle like a dream, Holds more of meaning in its narrow orb Than all the distant landscape that it blurs.
Henry Van Dyke
Gratitude is a two fold love - love coming to visit us, and love running out to greet a welcome guest.
