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

We live in the future. Even the happiness of the present is made up mostly of that delightful discontent which the hope of better things inspires.
J. G. Holland

J. G. Holland
