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.

More quotes by George MacDonald
The holy spirit of the Spring Is working silently.
George MacDonald
But for money and the need of it, there would not be half the friendship in the world. It is powerful for good if divinely used. Give it plenty of air and it is sweet as the hawthorn shut it up and it cankers and breeds worms.
George MacDonald
A man is as free as he chooses to make himself, never an atom freer.
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
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
People must not choose their neighbors they must take the neighbors that God sends them. The neighbor is just the person who is next to you at the moment, the person with whom any business has brought you into contact.
George MacDonald
In Giving, a man receives more than he gives and the more is in proportion to the worth of the thing given.
George MacDonald
Anything big enough to occupy our minds is big enough to hang a prayer on.
George MacDonald
Oh, I believe that there is no away that no love, no life, goes ever from us it goes as He went, that it may come again, deeper and closer and surer, and be with us always, even to the end of the world.
George MacDonald
No one is likely to remember what is entirely uninteresting to him.
George MacDonald
Why should my love be powerless to help another?
George MacDonald
Anything large enough for a wish to light upon, is large enough to hang a prayer upon.
George MacDonald
The region of the senses is the unbelieving part of the human soul.
George MacDonald
And so all growth that is not towards God Is growing to decay.
George MacDonald
If God were not only to hear our prayers, as he does ever and always, but to answer them as we want them answered, he would not be God our Saviour but the ministering genius of our destruction.
George MacDonald
We die daily. Happy those who daily come to life as well.
George MacDonald
Primarily, God is not bound to punish sin he is bound to destroy sin. The only vengeance worth having on sin is to make the sinner himself its executioner.
George MacDonald
I wondered over again for the hundredth time what could be the principle which, in the wildest, most lawless, fantastically chaotic, apparently capricious work of Nature, always kept it beautiful.
George MacDonald
Do not measure God's mind by your own.
George MacDonald
What can money do to console a man with a headache?
