Additional quotes by Henry van Dyke

And so, by night, while we were all at rest,
I think the coming sped the parting guest.

The legend of Felix is ended, the toiling of Felix is done;
The Master has paid him his wages, the goal of his journey is won;
He rests, but he never is idle; a thousand years pass like a day,
In the glad surprise of Paradise where work is sweeter than play.

As long as habit and routine dictate the pattern of living, new dimensions of the soul will not emerge.

Not to the swift, the race: Not to the strong, the fight: Not to the righteous, perfect grace: Not to the wise, the light. - Henry van Dyke
