More quotes by J. G. Holland
Heaven is not reached at a single bound. But we build the ladder by which we rise. From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, And we mount to its summit round by round.
J. G. Holland
So I take my life as I find it, as a life full of grand advantages that are linked indissolubly to my noblest happiness and my everlasting safety. I believe that Infinite Love ordained it, and that, if I bow willingly, tractably, and gladly to its discipline, my Father will take care of it.
J. G. Holland
There is a contemptibly quiet path for all those who are afraid of the blows and clamor of opposing forces.

Truth wants no champion who is not as ready to be struck as to strike for her.
J. G. Holland

J. G. Holland
There is no royal road to anything. One thing at a time, all things in succession. That which grows fast, withers as rapidly. That which grows slowly, endures.
J. G. Holland
Play is a sacred thing, a divine ordinance, for developing in the child a harmonious and healthy organism, and preparing that organism for the commencement of the work of life.
J. G. Holland
A man may carry the whole scheme of Christian truth in his mind from boyhood to old age without the slightest effect upon his character and aims. It has had less influence than the multiplication table.
J. G. Holland
It is the life in literature that acts upon life.
J. G. Holland
The most precious possession that ever comes to a man in this world is a woman's heart.
J. G. Holland
The faculty of self-help is that which distinguished man from animals that it is the Godlike element, or holds within itself the Godlike element, of his constitution.
J. G. Holland
Preceptive wisdom that has not been vivified by life has in itself no affinity for life.
J. G. Holland
That which grows fast, withers as rapidly. That which grows slow, endures.
J. G. Holland
It is better to be a self-made man,--filled up according to God's original pattern,--than to be half a man, made after some other man's pattern.
