More quotes by Henry Van Dyke
The birth of Jesus is the sunrise in the Bible.
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
There is no conflict between the Old and the New the conflict is between the False and the True.
Henry Van Dyke
Jazz: Music invented for the torture of imbeciles.
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
Use what talents you possess the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.
Henry Van Dyke
Tact is the unsaid part of what you think.
Henry Van Dyke
There is a better thing than the observance of Christmas day, and that is, keeping Christmas.
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
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
Spend as much time as possible, with body and with spirit in God's out-of-doors.
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 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
If all the skies were sunshine Our faces would be fain To feel once more upon them The cooling splash of rain. If all the world were music, Our hearts would often long For one sweet strain of silence, To break the endless song If life were always merry, Our souls would seek relief, And rest from weary laughter In the quiet arms of grief.
Henry Van Dyke
This is the soldier brave enough to tellThe glory-dazzled world that war is hell:Lover of peace, he looks beyond the strife,And rides through hell to save his country's life.
Henry Van Dyke
Let me but find it in my heart to say, When vagrant wishes beckon me astray, This is my work my blessing, not my doom Of all who live, I am the one by whom This work can best be done in the right way.
Henry Van Dyke
But this I know. Those who seek Him will do well to look among the poor and the lowly, the sorrowful and the oppressed.
Henry Van Dyke
Heaven is blest with perfect rest, but the blessing of Earth is toil.
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
You may have to live in a crowd, but you do not have to live like it.
Henry Van Dyke
