More From Henry Van Dyke

There are many kinds of love, as many kinds of light, and every kind of love makes a glory in the night. there is love that stirs the heart, and love that gives it rest, but the love that leads life upward is the noblest and the best.

Man must choose either of the two courses, the upward or the downward; but as he has the brute in him, he will more easily choose the downward course than the upward, especially when the downward course is presented to him in a beautiful garb. man easily capitulates when sin is presented in the garb of virtue.
