Use What Talents You Possess
by Henry Van Dyke
Use what talents you possess:
the woods would be very silent
if no birds sang there,
except those that sang best.
—Henry Van Dyke, American author and clergyman

Today is the birthday of the American author and clergyman Henry Van Dyke.
Henry gave us an epic saying that gardeners often quote about spring.
