Which of us is other than a secret to all but God!
George MacDonald
Image
The ideal is the only absolute real and it must become the real in the individual life as well, however impossible they may count it who never tried it.
George MacDonald
Image
Whose work is it but your own to open your eyes? But indeed the business of the universe is to make such a fool out of you that you will know yourself for one, and begin to be wise.
George MacDonald
Image
Only he knew that to be left alone is not always to be forsaken.

As in all sweetest music, a tinge of sadness was in every note. Nor do we know how much of the pleasures even of life we owe to the intermingled sorrows. Joy cannot unfold the deepest truths, although deepest truth must be deepest joy.
George MacDonald
Image
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

Affliction is but the shadow of God's wing.
George MacDonald

A fairytale is not an allegory. There may be allegory in it, but it is not an allegory.

The Root of All Rebellion: It is because we are not near enough to Thee to partake of thy liberty that we want a liberty of our own different from thine.
George MacDonald
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Thou art beautiful because God created thee, but thou art a slave to sin... wickedness has made you ugly.
George MacDonald
Image
Some thinkers would feel sorely hampered if at liberty to use no forms but such as existed in nature, or to invent nothing save in accordance with the laws of the world of the senses but it must not therefore be imagined that they desire escape from the region of law.
George MacDonald
Image
It is not the cares of today, but the cares of tomorrow, that weigh a man down. For the needs of today we have corresponding strength given. For the morrow we are told to trust. It is not ours yet. It is when tomorrow's burden is added to the burden of today that the weight is more than a man can bear.
