More quotes by George MacDonald
By all means rid yourself of an impoverished faith.
George MacDonald
As you grow ready for it, somewhere or other you will find what is needful for you in a book.
George MacDonald
A voice is in the wind I do not know A meaning on the face of the high hills Whose utterance I cannot comprehend. A something is behind them: that is God.
George MacDonald
Friends, if we be honest with ourselves, we shall be honest with each other.
George MacDonald
For the bliss of the animals lies in this, that, on their lower level, they shadow the bliss of those--few at any moment on the earth--who do not 'look before and after, and pine for what is not,' but live in the holy carelessness of the eternal now.
George MacDonald
I believe in fate, never in chance.
George MacDonald
Every truth must be accompanied by some corresponding act.
George MacDonald

George MacDonald
I came from God, and I'm going back to God, and I won't have any gaps of death in the middle of my life.
George MacDonald
There are women who fly their falcons at any game, little birds and all.
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
One thing is clear to me, that no indulgence of passion destroys the spiritual nature so much as respectable selfishness.
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
A man is in bondage to whatever he cannot part with that is less than himself.
George MacDonald
If there be music in my reader, I would gladly wake it.
George MacDonald
In joy or sorrow, feebleness or might, Peace or commotion, be thou, Father, my delight.
George MacDonald
Philosophy is really homesickness.
George MacDonald
