More quotes by J. G. Holland

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
Nothing so obstinately stands in the way of all sorts of progress as pride of opinion. While nothing is so foolish and baseless.
J. G. Holland
Artists are nearest God. Into their souls he breathes his life, and from their hands it comes in fair, articulate forms to bless the world.
J. G. Holland
That which grows fast, withers as rapidly. That which grows slow, endures.
J. G. Holland
Character lives in a man, reputation outside of him.
J. G. Holland
I know of but one garment which the fashionable social life of this country borrows of Christianity it is that ample garment of charity which covers a multitude of sins--particularly fashionable sins.
J. G. Holland
I look into your great brown eyes, where love and loyal homage shine, and wonder where the difference lies between your soul and mine!.
J. G. Holland
All things unrevealed belong to the kingdom of mystery.
J. G. Holland
The choicest thing this world has for a man is affection.
