More quotes by George MacDonald
To the dim and bewildered vision of humanity, God's care is more evident in some instances than in others and upon such instances men seize, and call them providences. It is well that they can but it would be gloriously better if they could believe that the whole matter is one grand providence.
George MacDonald
But for money and the need of it, there would not be half the friendship in the world. It is powerful for good if divinely used. Give it plenty of air and it is sweet as the hawthorn shut it up and it cankers and breeds worms.
George MacDonald
Friends, if we be honest with ourselves, we shall be honest with each other.
George MacDonald
As to the pure all things are pure, so the common mind sees far more vulgarity in others than the mind developed in genuine refinement.
George MacDonald
Afflictions are but the shadows of God's wings.
George MacDonald
Life and religion are one, or neither is any thing.
George MacDonald

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
The world...is full of resurrections... Every night that folds us up in darkness is a death and those of you that have been out early, and have seen the first of the dawn, will know it - the day rises out of the night like a being that has burst its tomb and escaped into life.
George MacDonald
But words are vain reject them all— They utter but a feeble part: Hear thou the depths from which they call, The voiceless longing of my heart.
George MacDonald
No man has the mind of Christ, except him who makes it his business to obey him.
George MacDonald
In whatever man does without God, he must fail miserably, or succeed more miserably.
George MacDonald
A voice is in the wind I do not know A meaning on the face of the high hills Whose utterance I cannot comprehend. A something is behind them: that is God.
George MacDonald
Nothing makes one feel so strong as a call for help.
George MacDonald
The purposes of God point to one simple end-that we should be as he is, think the same thoughts, mean the same things, possess the same blessedness.
George MacDonald
All that is made seems planless to the darkened mind, because there are more plans than it looked for...There seems no plan because it is all plan: there seems no centre because it is all centre.
George MacDonald
The miracles of Jesus were the ordinary works of his Father, wrought small and swift that we might take them in.
