More quotes by George MacDonald
Those are not the tears of repentance!... Self-loathing is not sorrow. Yet it is good, for it marks a step in the way home, and in the father's arms the prodigal forgets the self he abominates.
George MacDonald
Every truth must be accompanied by some corresponding act.
George MacDonald
The miracles of Jesus were the ordinary works of his Father, wrought small and swift that we might take them in.
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
But it is not the rich man only who is under the dominion of things they too are slaves who, having no money, are unhappy from the lack of it.
George MacDonald
The ideal is the only absolute real and it must become the real in the individual life as well, however impossible they may count it who never tried it.
George MacDonald
We are often unable to tell people what they need to know, because they want to know something else, and would therefore only misunderstand what we said.
George MacDonald
We profess to think Jesus the grandest and most glorious of men, yet hardly care to be like him. When we are offered his Spirit, that is, his very nature within us, for the asking, we will hardly take the trouble to ask for it.
George MacDonald
The greatest forces lie in the region of the uncomprehended.
George MacDonald
Come, then, affliction, if my Father wills, and be my frowning friend. A friend that frowns is better than a smiling enemy.
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
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
But when we are following the light, even its extinction is a guide.
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
Division has done more to hide Christ from the view of men than all the infidelity that has ever been spoken.
George MacDonald
To be humbly ashamed is to be plunged in the cleansing bath of truth.
George MacDonald
What can money do to console a man with a headache?
George MacDonald
To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved.
George MacDonald
A fairytale is not an allegory. There may be allegory in it, but it is not an allegory.
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
