Christmas Sayings by Henry Van Dyke are enormously appreciated by the Christmas revelers.The following are some of the popular Christmas Sayings by Henry Van Dyke that you can send to your near and dear ones during this Christmas:
-
Are you willing to believe that love is the strongest thing in the world - stronger than hate, stronger than evil, stronger than death - and that the blessed life which began in Bethlehem nineteen hundred years ago is the image and brightness of the Eternal Love? Then you can keep Christmas. - Henry Van Dyke
-
Are you willing... to forget what you have done for other people, and to remember what other people have done for you; to ignore what the world owes you, and to think what you owe the world; to put your rights in the background, and your duties in the middle distance, and your chances to do a little more than your duty in the foreground; to see that men and women are just as real as you are, and try to look behind their faces to their hearts, hungry for joy; to own up to the fact that probably the only good reason for your existence is not what you are going to get out of life, but what you are going to give to life; to close your book of complaints against the management of the universe, and look around you for a place where you can sow a few seeds of happiness. Are you willing to do these things even for a day? Then you can keep Christmas.
Related saying by Henry Van Dyke is as follows:
"Happiness is inward and not outward; and so it does not depend on what we have, but on what we are."
"Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love, to work, to play, and to look up at the stars."
