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
Of all the scamps society knows, the traditional good fellow is the most despicable.
J. G. Holland
There is a contemptibly quiet path for all those who are afraid of the blows and clamor of opposing forces. There is no honorable fighting for a man who is not ready to forget that he has a head to be battered and a name to be bespattered. Truth wants no champion who is not as ready to be struck as to strike for her.
J. G. Holland
Wealth is the least trustworthy of anchors.
J. G. Holland
Communion is the law of growth, and homes only thrive when they sustain relations with each other.
J. G. Holland
Doubtless the world is wicked enough but it will not be improved by the extension of a spirit which self-righteously sees more to reform outside of itself than in itself.
J. G. Holland
No nation can be destroyed while it possesses a good home life.
