Gratitude is a two fold love - love coming to visit us, and love running out to greet a welcome guest.
Henry Van DykeSo let the way wind up the hill or down, Oโer 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 roadโs last turn will be the best.
Henry Van DykeLove is not getting, but giving. Not a wild dream of pleasure and madness of desire - oh, no - love is not that! It is goodness and honor and peace and pure living - yes, love is that and it is the best thing in the world and the thing that lives the longest.
Henry Van DykeI thank God for the honesty and virility of Jesus religion which makes us face the facts and calls us to take a man's part in the real battle of life.
