More quotes by George MacDonald
A man is as free as he chooses to make himself, never an atom freer.
George MacDonald
God Himself - His thoughts, His will, His love, His judgments are men's home. To think His thoughts, to choose His will, to judge His judgments, and thus to know that He is in us, with us, is to be at home.
George MacDonald
No, there is no escape. There is no heaven with a little of hell in it--no plan to retain this or that of the devil in our hearts or our pockets. Out Satan must go, every hair and feather!
George MacDonald
We die daily. Happy those who daily come to life as well.
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
All haste implies weakness.
George MacDonald
The region of the senses is the unbelieving part of the human soul.
George MacDonald
I rose as from the death that wipes out the sadness of life, and then dies itself in the new morrow.
George MacDonald
Man finds it hard to get what he wants, because he does not want the best God finds it hard to give, because He would give the best, and man will not take it.
George MacDonald
The Lord never came to deliver men from the consequences of their sins while yet those sins remained...Yet men, loving their sins and feeling nothing of their dread hatefulness, have, consistent with their low condition, constantly taken this word concerning the Lord to mean that he came to save them from the punishment of their sins.
George MacDonald
But when we are following the light, even its extinction is a guide.
George MacDonald
Every truth must be accompanied by some corresponding act.
George MacDonald
She would wonder what had hurt her when she found her face wet with tears, and then would wonder how she could have been hurt without knowing it.
George MacDonald
But I begin to think the chief difficulty in writing a book must be to keep out what does not belong to it.
George MacDonald
In joy or sorrow, feebleness or might, Peace or commotion, be thou, Father, my delight.
George MacDonald
Right gladly would He free them from their misery, but He knows only one way: He will teach them to be like himself, meek and lowly, bearing with gladness the yoke of His Father's will. This in the one, the only right, the only possible way of freeing them from their sin, the cause of their unrest.
George MacDonald
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
For that great Love speaks in the most wretched and dirty hearts only the tone of its voice depends on the echoes of the place in which it sounds.
George MacDonald
Heaven...a place where everything that is not music is silence.
George MacDonald
Do not measure God's mind by your own.
