Work for immortality if you will: then wait for it.
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
All things unrevealed belong to the kingdom of mystery.
J. G. Holland
Calmness is the cradle of power.
J. G. Holland
All that has been done to weaken the foundation of an implicit faith in the Bible, as a whole, has been at the expense of the sense of religious obligation, and at the cost of human happiness.
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.
J. G. Holland
A man does not necessarily sin who does that which our reason and our conscience condemn.
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
In the homes of America are born the children of America and from them go out into American life, American men and women. They go out with the stamp of these homes upon them and only as these homes are what they should be, will they be what they should be.
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
Character lives in a man, reputation outside of him.
J. G. Holland
Immortality--twin sister of Eternity.
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
Play may not have so high a place in the divine economy, but is has as legitimate a place as prayer.
J. G. Holland
Responsibility walks hand in hand with capacity and power.
J. G. Holland
