More quotes by George MacDonald
Remember, then, that whoever does not mean good is always in danger of harm. But I try to give everybody fair play, and those that are in the wrong are in far more need of it always than those who are in the right: they can afford to do without it.
George MacDonald
Will is not unfrequently weakness.
George MacDonald
It is when people do wrong things wilfully that they are the more likely to do them again.
George MacDonald
Division has done more to hide Christ from the view of men than all the infidelity that has ever been spoken.

Diamond, however, had not been out so late before in all his life, and things looked so strange about him! - just as if he had got into Fairyland, of which he knew quite as much as anybody for his mother had no money to buy books to set him wrong on the subject.
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
A man is as free as he chooses to make himself, never an atom freer.
George MacDonald

George MacDonald
I am an emptiness for Thee to fill my soul a cavern for Thy sea
George MacDonald
No story ever really ends, and I think I know why.
George MacDonald
When I can no more stir my soul to move, and life is but the ashes of a fire when I can but remember that my heart once used to live and love, long and aspire- O, be thou then the first, the one thou art be thou the calling, before all answering love, and in me wake hope, fear, boundless desire.
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
There is an aching that is worse than any pain.
George MacDonald
People must believe what they can, and those who believe more must not be hard upon those who believe less. I doubt if you would have believed it all yourself if you hadn't seen some of it.
George MacDonald
The holy spirit of the Spring Is working silently.
George MacDonald
For this, deep waters whelm the fruitful lea, Wars ravage, famine wastes, plague withers, nor Shall cease till men have chosen the better part.
George MacDonald
