There is really nothing left to a genuine idle man, who possesses any considerable degree of vital power, but sin.
Josiah Gilbert Holland
The idle man stands outside of God's plan, outside of the ordained scheme of things; and the truest self-respect, the noblest independence, and the most genuine dignity, are not to be found there
Josiah Gilbert Holland
In that worthiest of all struggles, the struggle for self-mastery and goodness, we are far less patient with ourselves than God is with us.
Josiah Gilbert Holland
