George MacDonald
Alas! how easily things go wrong!

George MacDonald
It is not in the nature of politics that the best men should be elected. The best men do not want to govern their fellowmen.
George MacDonald
A man must learn to love his children, not because they are his, but because they are children, else his love will be scarcely a better thing at last than the party-spirit of the faithful politician.
George MacDonald
To be humbly ashamed is to be plunged in the cleansing bath of truth.
George MacDonald
I am sometimes almost terrified at the scope of the demands made upon me, at the perfection of the self-abandonment required of me yet outside of such absoluteness can be no salvation.
George MacDonald
But when we are following the light, even its extinction is a guide.
George MacDonald
The kingdom of heaven is not come even when God's will is our law it is fully come when God's will is our will.
