More quotes by George MacDonald
All love will, one day, meet with its return. All true love will, one day, behold its own image in the eyes of the beloved, and be humbly glad.
George MacDonald
All that is made seems planless to the darkened mind, because there are more plans than it looked for...There seems no plan because it is all plan: there seems no centre because it is all centre.
George MacDonald
Oh, I believe that there is no away that no love, no life, goes ever from us it goes as He went, that it may come again, deeper and closer and surer, and be with us always, even to the end of the world.
George MacDonald
But for money and the need of it, there would not be half the friendship in the world. It is powerful for good if divinely used. Give it plenty of air and it is sweet as the hawthorn shut it up and it cankers and breeds worms.
George MacDonald
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.
George MacDonald
Life and religion are one, or neither is any thing.
George MacDonald

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
A true friend is forever a friend.
George MacDonald
In the midst of death we are in life. Life is the only reality what men call death is but a shadow.
George MacDonald
Her face was fair and pretty, with eyes like two bits of night sky, each with a star dissolved in the blue.
George MacDonald
There is but one thing that can free a man from superstition, and that is belief. All history proves it. The most sceptical have ever been the most credulous.
George MacDonald
Never was there a more injurous mistake than to say it was thebusiness only of the clergy to care for souls.
George MacDonald
To love righteousness is to make it grow, not to avenge it. Throughout his life on earth, Jesus resisted every impulse to work more rapidly for a lower good.
George MacDonald
Cleverness is cheap. It is faith that He praises.
George MacDonald
In joy or sorrow, feebleness or might, Peace or commotion, be thou, Father, my delight.
George MacDonald
