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
Select Henry Van Dyke Quotations
Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.
Henry Van Dyke
What we do belongs to what we are; and what we are is what becomes of us.
Henry Van Dyke
A friend is what the heart needs all the time.
Henry Van Dyke
Some people are so afraid do die that they never begin to live.
Henry Van Dyke
Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.
Henry Van Dyke
Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love, to work, to play, and to look up at the stars.
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
