More quotes by Henry Van Dyke
Be grateful for the tiny details of your life and make room for unexpected and beautiful blessings.
Henry Van Dyke
Lord, when my spirit shall return to thee, At the foot of a friendly tree let my body be buried, That this dust may rise and rejoice among the branches.
Henry Van Dyke
No amount of energy will take the place of thought. A strenuous life with its eyes shut is a kind of wild insanity.
Henry Van Dyke
A friend is what the heart needs all the time.
Henry Van Dyke
Genius is talent set on fire by courage.
Henry Van Dyke
A peace that depends on fear is nothing but a suppressed war.
Henry Van Dyke
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
Fidelity is simply daring to be true in small things as well as great.
Henry Van Dyke
No matter what theory of the origin of government you adopt, if you follow it out to its legitimate conclusions it will bring you face to face with the moral law.
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
Happiness is inward, and not outward and so, it does not depend on what we have, but on what we are.
Henry Van Dyke
There is no personal charm so great as the charm of a cheerful temperament.
Henry Van Dyke
Love that leads life upward is the noblest and the best.
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
A clean and sensitive conscience, a steady and scrupulous integrity in small things as well as large, is the most valuable of all possessions, to a nation as to an individual.
Henry Van Dyke
Half of the secular unrest and dismal, profane sadness of modern society comes from the vain ideas that every man is bound to be a critic for life.
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
Gratitude is a two fold love - love coming to visit us, and love running out to greet a welcome guest.
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
