These are the things I prize And hold of dearest worth: Light of the sapphire skies, Peace of the silent hills, Shelter of the forests, comfort of the grass, Music of birds, murmur of little rills, Shadows of cloud that swiftly pass, And, after showers, The smell of flowers And of the good brown earth,- And best of all, along the way, friendship and mirth.
Henry Van DykeThe Bible teaches that God owns the world. He distributes to every man according to His own good pleasure, conformably to general laws.
Henry Van DykeUse what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.
