Henry Van Dyke Quotes

Henry Van Dyke

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

Henry Van Dyke
What we do belongs to what we are; and what we are is what becomes of us.

Henry Van Dyke
What you possess in the world will be found at the day of your death to belong to someone else. But what you are will be yours forever.
