Henry Van Dyke is an American author, educator, and clergyman. He became Minister to the Netherlands and Luxembourg in 1913. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters and received many other honors. He also wrote the lyrics to the popular hymn, "Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee" in 1907.
Here are some of his inspiring quotations:
1. "Genius is talent set on fire by courage."
2. "In the progress of personality, first comes a declaration of independence, then a recognition of interdependence."
3. "Look around for a place to sow a few seeds."
4. "What we do belongs to what we are; and what we are is what becomes of us."
5. "Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity."
