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
There is really nothing left to a genuine idle man, who possesses any considerable degree of vital power, but sin.
J. G. Holland
The secret of man's success resides in his insight into the moods of people, and his tact in dealing with them.
J. G. Holland
Whatever of true glory has been won by any nation of the earth whatever great advance his been made by any nation in that which constitutes a high Christian civilization, has been always at the cost of sacrifice has cost the price marked upon it in God's inventory of national good.
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.
