More quotes by George MacDonald
No man has the mind of Christ, except him who makes it his business to obey him.
George MacDonald
A fairytale is not an allegory. There may be allegory in it, but it is not an allegory.
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
If you care to see God, be pure. If you will not be pure, you will grow more and more impure.
George MacDonald
On Good Friday Jesus died But rose again at Eastertide.....Lord, teach us to understand that your Son died to save us not from suffering but from ourselves, not from injustice...but from being unjust. He died that we might live - but live as he lives, by dying as he died who died to himself.
George MacDonald
We must do the thing we must Before the thing we may We are unfit for any trust Till we can and do obey.

Cleverness is cheap. It is faith that He praises.

Afflictions are but the shadows of God's wings.
George MacDonald
When I can no more stir my soul to move, and life is but the ashes of a fire when I can but remember that my heart once used to live and love, long and aspire- O, be thou then the first, the one thou art be thou the calling, before all answering love, and in me wake hope, fear, boundless desire.
George MacDonald
Beauty and sadness always go together.
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
One chief cause of the amount of unbelief in the world is tha tthose who have seen something of the glory of Christ set themselves to theorize concerning him rather than to obey him.
George MacDonald
Thou art beautiful because God created thee, but thou art a slave to sin... wickedness has made you ugly.
George MacDonald
Alas! how easily things go wrong!
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
I firmly believe people have hitherto been a great deal too much taken up about doctrine and far too little about practice. The word doctrine, as used in the Bible, means teaching of duty, not theory.
George MacDonald
Where did you get your eyes so blue? Out of the sky as I came through.
George MacDonald
It is to the man who is trying to live, to the man who is obedient to the word of the Master, that the word of the Master unfolds itself.
George MacDonald
