Quotations by ...
Henry Van Dyke (1852-1933) American clergyman and writer
Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those that sang best.
¶ (Attributed)
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.
¶ (Attributed)
