A friend is what the heart needs all the time.
Henry Van DykeLove is the heart s immortal thirst to be completely known and all forgiven.
Henry Van DykeBe glad of life because it gives you a chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars.
Henry Van DykeAre you willing to stoop down and consider the needs and desires of little children; to remember the weaknesses and lonliness of people who are growing old; to stop asking how much your friends love you, and to ask yourself if you love them enough; to bear in mind the things that other people have to bear on their hearts; to trim your lamp so that it will give more light and less smoke, and to carry it in front so that your shadow will fall behind you; to make a grave for your ugly thougts and a garden for your kindly feelings, with the gate open? Are you willing to do these things for a day? Then you are ready to keep Christmas!

There is no personal charm so great as the charm of a cheerful temperament.
Henry Van DykeThe first day of spring is one thing and the first spring day is another. The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month.
Henry Van DykeSo let the way wind up the hill or down,
O’er rough or smooth, the journey will be joy;
Still seeking what I sought when but a boy,
New friendship, high adventure, and a crown.
My heart will keep the courage of the quest,
And hope the road’s last turn will be the best.
But this I know. Those who seek Him will do well to look among the poor and the lowly, the sorrowful and the oppressed.

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.
