Henry Van Dyke
  • Use what talents you possess the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.

  • Love is the best thing in the world, and the thing that lives the longest.

  • It is with rivers as it is with people: the greatest are not always the most agreeable nor the best to live with.

  • Culture is the habit of being pleased with the best and knowing why.

  • Genius is talent set on fire by courage.
