Every task, however simple, sets the soul that does it free;
Every deed of love and mercy, done to man is done to Me.
(They Who Tread The Path Of Labor)

It is with rivers as it is with people: the greatest are not always the most agreeable nor the best to live with.
Henry Van Dyke
Memory is a capricious and arbitrary creature. You never can tell what pebble she will pick up from the shore of life to keep among her treasures, or what inconspicuous flower of the field she will preserve as the symbol of 'thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.' ... And yet I do not doubt that the most Important things are always the best remembered.
Henry van Dyke
Who seeks for Heaven alone to save his soul May keep the path, but will not reach the goal While he who walks in love may wander far, Yet God will bring him where the blessed are.
Henry van Dyke
So runs the andante, making plain
The hopes and fears of love without a word.
Henry Van Dyke
Not to the swift, the race Not to the strong, the fight Not to the righteous, perfect grace Not to the wise, the light.
