More quotes by George MacDonald
I find the doing of the will of God leaves me no time for disputing about his plans — I do not say for thinking about them.
George MacDonald
You will be dead so long as you refuse to die.
George MacDonald
Where did you get your eyes so blue? Out of the sky as I came through.
George MacDonald
It is when people do wrong things wilfully that they are the more likely to do them again.
George MacDonald
We can walk without fear, full of hope and courage and strength to do His will, waiting for the endless good which He is always giving as fast as He can get us able to take it in.
George MacDonald
God hides nothing. His very work from the beginning is revelation--a casting aside of veil after veil, a showing unto men of truth after truth. On and on from fact Divine He advances, until at length in His Son Jesus He unveils His very face.
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
Forgiveness is the giving, and so the receiving, of life.
George MacDonald
The region of the senses is the unbelieving part of the human soul.
George MacDonald
In the hearts of witches, love and hate lie close together and often tumble over each other.
George MacDonald
You thought you were going to be made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it himself. (Quoted by C.S.Lewis in Mere Christianity)
George MacDonald
Things come to the poor that can't get in at the door of the rich. Their money somehow blocks it up. It is a great privilege to be poor--one that no man covets, and brat a very few have sought to retain, but one that yet many have learned to prize.
George MacDonald
A man is as free as he chooses to make himself, never an atom freer.
George MacDonald
I dare not say with Paul that I am the slave of Christ, but my highest aspiration and desire is to be the slave of Christ.
George MacDonald
Love makes everything lovely hate concentrates itself on the one thing hated.
George MacDonald
I came from God, and I'm going back to God, and I won't have any gaps of death in the middle of my life.
George MacDonald
How strange this fear of death is! We are never frightened at a sunset.
George MacDonald
Man finds it hard to get what he wants, because he does not want the best God finds it hard to give, because He would give the best, and man will not take it.
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
I am an emptiness for Thee to fill my soul a cavern for Thy sea
George MacDonald
