As long as habit and routine dictate the pattern of living, new dimensions of the soul will not emerge.
More Quotes from Henry Van Dyke:
There is a life that is worth living now as it was worth living in the former days, and that is the honest life, the useful life, the unselfish life, cleansed by devotion to an ideal. There is a battle worth fighting now as it was worth fighting then, and that is the battle for justice and equality to make our city and our state free in fact as well as in name to break the rings that strangle real liberty, and to keep them broken to cleanse, so far as in our power lies, the fountains of our national life from political, commercial, and social corruption to teach our sons and daughters, by precept and example, the honor of serving such a country as America. That is work worthy of the finest manhood and womanhood.Henry van Dyke

Henry Van Dyke
Ere thou sleepest, gently lay Every troubled thought away Put off worry and distress As thou puttest off thy dress Drop thy burden and thy care In the quiet arms of prayer. Lord thou knowest how I live, All IVE DONE AMISS FORGIVE ALL OF GOOD IVE TRIED TO DO STRENGTHEN, bless and carry through All I love in safety keep While in Thee I fall asleep.
Henry van Dyke
