More quotes by George MacDonald
He who seeks the Father more than anything He can give, is likely to have what he asks, for he is not likely to ask amiss.
George MacDonald
Philosophy is really homesickness.
George MacDonald
Love makes everything lovely hate concentrates itself on the one thing hated.
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
To say on the authority of the Bible that God does a thing no honourable man would do, is to lie against God to say that it is therefore right, is to lie against the very spirit of God.
George MacDonald
Where did you get your eyes so blue? Out of the sky as I came through.
George MacDonald
By all means rid yourself of an impoverished faith.
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
It may be an infinitely less evil to murder a man than to refuse to forgive him. The former may be the act of a moment of passion: the latter is the heart’s choice.
George MacDonald
No story ever really ends, and I think I know why.
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
God Himself - His thoughts, His will, His love, His judgments are men's home. To think His thoughts, to choose His will, to judge His judgments, and thus to know that He is in us, with us, is to be at home.
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
The purposes of God point to one simple end-that we should be as he is, think the same thoughts, mean the same things, possess the same blessedness.
George MacDonald
And so all growth that is not towards God Is growing to decay.
George MacDonald
In joy or sorrow, feebleness or might, Peace or commotion, be thou, Father, my delight.
George MacDonald
The region of the senses is the unbelieving part of the human soul.
George MacDonald
Then the Old Man of the Earth stooped over the floor of the cave, raised a huge stone from it, and left it leaning. It disclosed a great hole that went plumb-down. That is the way, he said. But there are no stairs. You must throw yourself in. There is no other way.
George MacDonald
God never gave man a thing to do concerning which it were irreverent to ponder how the Son of God would have done it.
George MacDonald
To be humbly ashamed is to be plunged in the cleansing bath of truth.
George MacDonald
