Henry Van Dyke Quotes About Dreams

Quotes about: Dreams

• A tear that trembles for a little while
  Upon the trembling eyelid, till the world
  Wavers within its circle like a dream,
  Holds more of meaning in its narrow orb
  Than all the distant landscape that it blurs.

  Henry Van Dyke

  Dream, Circles, Tears

  Henry Van Dyke (1920). “The Poems of Henry Van Dyke”

• Love is not getting, but giving. Not a wild dream of pleasure and madness of desire - oh, no - love is not that! It is goodness and honor and peace and pure living - yes, love is that and it is the best thing in the world and the thing that lives the longest.

  Henry Van Dyke

  Dream, Love You, Love Is

• We may be able to tell how many stars are in the Milky Way; we may be able to count the petals of every flower, and number the bones of every bird; but unless faith leads us to a deeper understanding, a more reverent comprehension of the significance of the universe, God can be no more pleased with our knowledge than the painter is pleased with the fly which touches his picture with its feelers, and sips the varnish from the surface, and dies without dreaming of the meaning, thought, feeling, embodied in the colors.

  Faith, Dream, Stars

  Henry Van Dyke (2000). “The Upward Path: Daily Inspirations from the Works of Henry Van Dyke”, Harold Shaw Pub

• 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.

  Dream, Sweet, Flower
