More quotes by George MacDonald
There is an aching that is worse than any pain.
George MacDonald
Only he knew that to be left alone is not always to be forsaken.
George MacDonald
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
We die daily. Happy those who daily come to life as well.
George MacDonald
There is this difference between the growth of some human beings and that of others: in the one case it is a continuous dying, in the other a continuous resurrection.
George MacDonald
Alas! this time is never the time for self-denial, it is always the next time. Abstinence is so much more pleasant to contemplate upon the other side of indulgence.
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
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
By all means rid yourself of an impoverished faith.
George MacDonald
All those evil doctrines about God that work misery and madness have their origin in the brains of the wise and prudent, not in the hearts of children.
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
We are often unable to tell people what they need to know, because they want to know something else, and would therefore only misunderstand what we said.
George MacDonald
In joy or sorrow, feebleness or might, Peace or commotion, be thou, Father, my delight.
George MacDonald
It is when people do wrong things wilfully that they are the more likely to do them again.
George MacDonald
Common people, whether lords or shop-keepers, are slow to understand that possession, whether in the shape of birth or lands or money or intellect, is a small affair in the difference between men.
George MacDonald
One thing is clear to me, that no indulgence of passion destroys the spiritual nature so much as respectable selfishness.
George MacDonald
Division has done more to hide Christ from the view of men than all the infidelity that has ever been spoken.
George MacDonald
All haste implies weakness.
George MacDonald
Philosophy is really homesickness.
George MacDonald
