More quotes by George MacDonald
Beauty and sadness always go together. Nature thought beauty too rich to go forth Upon the earth without a meet alloy.
George MacDonald
The holy spirit of the Spring Is working silently.
George MacDonald
The whole history of the Christian life is a series of resurrections. . . . Every time we find our hearts are troubled, that we are not rejoicing in God, a resurrection must follow a resurrection out of the night of troubled thought into the gladness of the truth.
George MacDonald
Blessed be the true life that the pauses between its throbs are not death!
George MacDonald
When a feeling was there, they felt as if it would never go when it was gone, they felt as if it had never been when it returned, they felt as if it had never gone.
George MacDonald
Primarily, God is not bound to punish sin he is bound to destroy sin. The only vengeance worth having on sin is to make the sinner himself its executioner.
George MacDonald
I would not favour a fiction to keep a whole world out of hell. The hell that a lie would keep any man out of is doubtless the very best place for him to go to. It is truth... that saves the world.
George MacDonald
What can money do to console a man with a headache?
George MacDonald
Alas! how easily things go wrong!
George MacDonald
There is an aching that is worse than any pain.
George MacDonald
Which of us is other than a secret to all but God!
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
But I begin to think the chief difficulty in writing a book must be to keep out what does not belong to it.
George MacDonald
It is not in the nature of politics that the best men should be elected. The best men do not want to govern their fellowmen.
George MacDonald
If God were not only to hear our prayers, as he does ever and always, but to answer them as we want them answered, he would not be God our Saviour but the ministering genius of our destruction.
George MacDonald
Afflictions are but the shadows of God's wings.
George MacDonald
To judge religion we must have it--not stare at it from the bottom of a seemingly interminable ladder.
George MacDonald
All haste implies weakness.
George MacDonald
The more I work with the body, keeping my assumptions in a temporary state of reservation, the more I appreciate and sympathize with a given disease. The body no longer appears as a sick or irrational demon, but as a process with its own inner logic and wisdom.
George MacDonald
The region of the senses is the unbelieving part of the human soul.
George MacDonald
