More quotes by George MacDonald
Cleverness is cheap. It is faith that He praises.
George MacDonald
Better to have the poet's heart than brain, Feeling than song.
George MacDonald
The direst foe of courage is the fear itself, not the object of it and the man who can overcome his own terror is a hero and more.
George MacDonald
Annihilation itself is no death to evil. Only good where evil was, is evil dead. An evil thing must live with its evil until it chooses to be good. That alone is the slaying of evil.
George MacDonald
Forgiveness is the giving, and so the receiving, of life.
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 may be an infinitely less evil to murder a man than to refuse to forgive him. The former may be the act of a moment of passion: the latter is the heart’s choice.
George MacDonald
Forgiveness unleashes joy. It brings peace. It washes the slate clean. It sets all the highest values of love in motion.
George MacDonald
No man has the mind of Christ, except him who makes it his business to obey him.
George MacDonald
All love will, one day, meet with its return. All true love will, one day, behold its own image in the eyes of the beloved, and be humbly glad.
George MacDonald
I wondered over again for the hundredth time what could be the principle which, in the wildest, most lawless, fantastically chaotic, apparently capricious work of Nature, always kept it beautiful.
George MacDonald
Those that hope little cannot grow much.
George MacDonald
Heaven...a place where everything that is not music is silence.
George MacDonald
Forgiveness is the giving and so the receiving of life. the latter may be an impulse of a moment of heat whereas the former is a cold and deliberate choice of the heart.
George MacDonald
There is little hope of the repentance and redemption of certain some until they have committed one or another of the many wrong things of which they are daily, through a course of unrestrained selfishness, becoming more and more capable.
George MacDonald
For the bliss of the animals lies in this, that, on their lower level, they shadow the bliss of those--few at any moment on the earth--who do not 'look before and after, and pine for what is not,' but live in the holy carelessness of the eternal now.
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
You thought you were going to be made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it himself. (Quoted by C.S.Lewis in Mere Christianity)
George MacDonald
Truth is truth, whether from the lips of Jesus or Balaam.
George MacDonald
Anything large enough for a wish to light upon, is large enough to hang a prayer upon.
George MacDonald
