"Like water spilt upon the ground--alas, Our..." - Quote by Henry Van Dyke

“For those who love... time is eternity.”

“The best rose-bush, after all, is not that which has the fewest thorns, but that which bears the finest roses.”

“If only the best birds sang, the forest would be silent.”

“We get to make a living; we give to make a life.”

“Most people fail in life because they major in minor things.”

“For, after all, you do grow up, you do outgrow your ideals, which turn to dust and ashes, which are shattered into fragments; and if you have no other life, you just have to build one up out of these fragments.”

“There lives within the very flame of love A kind of wick or snuff that will abate it.”

“Come, for the House of Hope is built on sand: bring wine, for the fabric of life is as weak as the wind.”

“Everything that's lovely is But a brief, dreamy kind of delight.”
