American diplomat 1852 – 1933

„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 not.“Music and Other Poems

Henry Van Dyke43

American diplomat 1852 – 1933

„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 Dyke43

American diplomat 1852 – 1933

„Are 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!“

Henry Van Dyke43

American diplomat 1852 – 1933

„Oh, London is a man's town, there's power in the air;
And Paris is a woman's town, with flowers in her hair;
And it's sweet to dream in Venice, and it's great to study Rome;
But when it comes to living, there is no place like home.“

Henry Van Dyke43

American diplomat 1852 – 1933

„Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars.“

Henry Van Dyke43

American diplomat 1852 – 1933

„The woods would be quiet if no bird sang but the one that sang best.“

Henry Van Dyke43

American diplomat 1852 – 1933

„Some succeed because they are destined to, but most succeed because they are determined to.“

Henry Van Dyke43

American diplomat 1852 – 1933

„The shadow by my finger cast
Divides the future from the past:
Before it, sleeps the unborn hour,
In darkness, and beyond thy power.
Behind its unreturning line,
The vanished hour, no longer thine:
One hour alone is in thy hands,-
The NOW on which the shadow stands.“

Henry Van Dyke43

American diplomat 1852 – 1933

„i am standing upon the seashore. a ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. she is an object of beauty and strength. i stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other. then someone at my side says: "there, she is gone!" "gone where?" gone from my sight. that is all. she is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and she is just as able to bear the load of living freight to her destined port. her diminished size is in me, not in her. and just at the moment when someone at my side says: "there, she is gone!" there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout: "here she comes!" and that is dying.“

Henry Van Dyke43

American diplomat 1852 – 1933

„Genius is talent set on fire by courage.“

Henry Van Dyke43

American diplomat 1852 – 1933

„Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very quiet if only those birds sing there that sang best.“

American diplomat 1852 – 1933

Henry Van Dyke43

American diplomat 1852 – 1933

„Some people are so afraid to die that they never begin to live.“

Henry Van Dyke43

American diplomat 1852 – 1933

„There is a loftier ambition than to stand high in the world. It is to step down and lift mankind a little higher.“

Henry Van Dyke43

American diplomat 1852 – 1933

„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.“The Other Wise Man

Henry Van Dyke43

American diplomat 1852 – 1933

„It is better to burn the candle at both ends, and in the middle, too, than to put it away in the closet and let the mice eat it.“
