More quotes by George MacDonald
As you grow ready for it, somewhere or other you will find what is needful for you in a book.
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
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
All that man sees has to do with man. Worlds cannot be without an intermundane relationship. The community of the centre of all creation suggests an interradiating connection and dependence of the parts. Else a grander idea is conceivable than that which is already embodied.
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
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
But, for as cold and wretched as it looks, the sun has not forsaken it. He has only drawn away from it a little, for good reasons, one of which is that we may learn that we cannot do without him.
George MacDonald
The whole trouble is that we won't let God help us.
George MacDonald
Cleverness is cheap. It is faith that He praises.
George MacDonald
Forgiveness unleashes joy. It brings peace. It washes the slate clean. It sets all the highest values of love in motion.
George MacDonald
Where did you get your eyes so blue? Out of the sky as I came through.
George MacDonald
Work is not always required. There is such a thing as sacred idleness.
George MacDonald
Anything big enough to occupy our minds is big enough to hang a prayer on.
George MacDonald
We die daily. Happy those who daily come to life as well.
George MacDonald
When we are out of sympathy with the young, then I think our work in this world is over
George MacDonald
By all means rid yourself of an impoverished faith.
George MacDonald
No one is likely to remember what is entirely uninteresting to him.
George MacDonald
We profess to think Jesus the grandest and most glorious of men, yet hardly care to be like him. When we are offered his Spirit, that is, his very nature within us, for the asking, we will hardly take the trouble to ask for it.
George MacDonald
But when we are following the light, even its extinction is a guide.
George MacDonald
In low theologies, hell is invariably the deepest truth, and the love of God is not so deep as hell.
George MacDonald
