Which of us is other than a secret to all but God!
George MacDonald
Image
What God may hereafter require of you, you must not give yourself the least trouble about. Everything He gives you to do, you must do as well as ever you can, and that is the best possible preparation for what He may want you to do next. If people would but do what they have to do, they would always find themselves ready for what came next.

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.

The miracles of Jesus were the ordinary works of his Father, wrought small and swift that we might take them in.
George MacDonald
Image
He who seeks the Father more than anything He can give, is likely to have what he asks, for he is not likely to ask amiss.

He who is faithful over a few things is a lord of cities. It does not matter whether you preach in Westminster Abbey or teach a ragged class, so you be faithful. The faithfulness is all.

I would not favour a fiction to keep a whole world out of hell. The hell that a lie would keep any man out of is doubtless the very best place for him to go to. It is truth... that saves the world.

Will is not unfrequently weakness.

Where did you get your eyes so blue? Out of the sky as I came through.

It was foolish indeed - thus to run farther and farther from all who could help her, as if she had been seeking a fit spot for the goblin creature to eat her in at his leisure but that is the way fear serves us: it always sides with the thing we are afraid of.
George MacDonald
Image
It is to the man who is trying to live, to the man who is obedient to the word of the Master, that the word of the Master unfolds itself.
George MacDonald
Image
It needs brains to be a real fool.
George MacDonald
Image
To be humbly ashamed is to be plunged in the cleansing bath of truth.
George MacDonald
Image
In Giving, a man receives more than he gives and the more is in proportion to the worth of the thing given.

Things come to the poor that can't get in at the door of the rich. Their money somehow blocks it up. It is a great privilege to be poor--one that no man covets, and brat a very few have sought to retain, but one that yet many have learned to prize.
George MacDonald
Image
The whole trouble is that we won't let God help us.
George MacDonald
Image
I am sometimes almost terrified at the scope of the demands made upon me, at the perfection of the self-abandonment required of me yet outside of such absoluteness can be no salvation.
