More quotes by George MacDonald
We must do the thing we must Before the thing we may We are unfit for any trust Till we can and do obey.
George MacDonald
In the midst of death we are in life. Life is the only reality what men call death is but a shadow.
George MacDonald
She would wonder what had hurt her when she found her face wet with tears, and then would wonder how she could have been hurt without knowing it.
George MacDonald
We die daily. Happy those who daily come to life as well.
George MacDonald
I find the doing of the will of God leaves me no time for disputing about his plans — I do not say for thinking about them.
George MacDonald
I don't know how to thank you.' Then I will tell you. There is only one way I care for. Do better, and grow better, and be better.
George MacDonald
One of the good things that come of a true marriage is, that there is one face on which changes come without your seeing them or rather there is one face which you can still see the same, through all the shadows which years have gathered upon it.
George MacDonald
God Himself - His thoughts, His will, His love, His judgments are men's home. To think His thoughts, to choose His will, to judge His judgments, and thus to know that He is in us, with us, is to be at home.
George MacDonald
All that man sees has to do with man. Worlds cannot be without an intermundane relationship. The community of the centre of all creation suggests an interradiating connection and dependence of the parts. Else a grander idea is conceivable than that which is already embodied.
George MacDonald
It is when people do wrong things wilfully that they are the more likely to do them again.
George MacDonald
The miracles of Jesus were the ordinary works of his Father, wrought small and swift that we might take them in.
George MacDonald
We are often unable to tell people what they need to know, because they want to know something else, and would therefore only misunderstand what we said.
George MacDonald
Right gladly would He free them from their misery, but He knows only one way: He will teach them to be like himself, meek and lowly, bearing with gladness the yoke of His Father's will. This in the one, the only right, the only possible way of freeing them from their sin, the cause of their unrest.
George MacDonald
The Bible is to me the most precious thing in the world, because it tells me his story and what good men thought about him who knew him and accepted him.
George MacDonald
How strange this fear of death is! We are never frightened at a sunset.
George MacDonald
Do not measure God's mind by your own.
George MacDonald
No, there is no escape. There is no heaven with a little of hell in it--no plan to retain this or that of the devil in our hearts or our pockets. Out Satan must go, every hair and feather!
George MacDonald
I am perplexed at the stupidity of the ordinary religious being. In the most practical of all matters he will talk and speculate and try to feel, but he will not set himself to do.
George MacDonald
There is this difference between the growth of some human beings and that of others: in the one case it is a continuous dying, in the other a continuous resurrection.
George MacDonald
Truth is truth, whether from the lips of Jesus or Balaam.
George MacDonald
