More quotes by J. G. Holland

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

J. G. Holland
Assertion of truths known and felt, promulgation of truth from the high platform of truth itself, declaration of faith by the mouth of moral conviction--this is the New Testament method, and the true one.
J. G. Holland
The hammer and the anvil are the two hemispheres of every true reformer's character.
J. G. Holland
Play may not have so high a place in the divine economy, but is has as legitimate a place as prayer.
J. G. Holland
