More quotes by George MacDonald
The boy should enclose and keep, as his life, the old child at the heart of him, and never let it go. He must still, to be a right man, be his mother's darling, and more, his father's pride, and more. The child is not meant to die, but to be forever fresh born.
George MacDonald
The mind of the many is not the mind of God.
George MacDonald
I believe in fate, never in chance.
George MacDonald
We die daily. Happy those who daily come to life as well.
George MacDonald
If there be music in my reader, I would gladly wake it.
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
Alas! this time is never the time for self-denial, it is always the next time. Abstinence is so much more pleasant to contemplate upon the other side of indulgence.
George MacDonald
Why should my love be powerless to help another?
George MacDonald
Work is not always required. There is such a thing as sacred idleness.
George MacDonald
A man is in bondage to whatever he cannot part with that is less than himself.
George MacDonald
No one is likely to remember what is entirely uninteresting to him.
George MacDonald
To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved.
George MacDonald
To receive honestly is the best thanks for a good thing.
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 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
A true friend is forever a friend.
George MacDonald
I do not myself believe there is any misfortune. What men call such is merely the shadowside of a good.
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
People must believe what they can, and those who believe more must not be hard upon those who believe less. I doubt if you would have believed it all yourself if you hadn't seen some of it.
George MacDonald
The direst foe of courage is the fear itself, not the object of it and the man who can overcome his own terror is a hero and more.
George MacDonald
