More quotes by George MacDonald
No story ever really ends, and I think I know why.
George MacDonald
If you care to see God, be pure. If you will not be pure, you will grow more and more impure.
George MacDonald
They will pressure you into doing things that may be unsafe, use your good judgment, and remember, 'I would rather be laughed at, than cried for.'
George MacDonald
Moderation is the basis of justice.
George MacDonald
Instead of asking yourself whether you believe or not, ask yourself whether you have, this day, done one thing because He said, Do it! or once abstained because He said, Do not do it! It is simply absurd to say you believe, or even want to believe, in Him, if you do not do anything He tells you.
George MacDonald
Then the Old Man of the Earth stooped over the floor of the cave, raised a huge stone from it, and left it leaning. It disclosed a great hole that went plumb-down. That is the way, he said. But there are no stairs. You must throw yourself in. There is no other way.
George MacDonald
The holy spirit of the Spring Is working silently.
George MacDonald
Remember, then, that whoever does not mean good is always in danger of harm. But I try to give everybody fair play, and those that are in the wrong are in far more need of it always than those who are in the right: they can afford to do without it.
George MacDonald
No man has the mind of Christ, except him who makes it his business to obey him.
George MacDonald
It is not the cares of today, but the cares of tomorrow, that weigh a man down.
George MacDonald
A man is as free as he chooses to make himself, never an atom freer.
George MacDonald
Friends, if we be honest with ourselves, we shall be honest with each other.
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
A man is in bondage to whatever he cannot part with that is less than himself.
George MacDonald
You will be dead so long as you refuse to die.
George MacDonald
In the hearts of witches, love and hate lie close together and often tumble over each other.
George MacDonald
Forgiveness is the giving and so the receiving of life. the latter may be an impulse of a moment of heat whereas the former is a cold and deliberate choice of the heart.
George MacDonald
In whatever man does without God, he must fail miserably, or succeed more miserably.
George MacDonald
Afflictions are but the shadows of God's wings.
George MacDonald
The Bible is to me the most precious thing in the world, because it tells me his story and what good men thought about him who knew him and accepted him.
George MacDonald
