More quotes by George MacDonald
Diamond, however, had not been out so late before in all his life, and things looked so strange about him! - just as if he had got into Fairyland, of which he knew quite as much as anybody for his mother had no money to buy books to set him wrong on the subject.
George MacDonald
To love righteousness is to make it grow, not to avenge it. Throughout his life on earth, Jesus resisted every impulse to work more rapidly for a lower good.
George MacDonald
It needs brains to be a real fool.
George MacDonald
The mind of the many is not the mind of God.
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
I believe in fate, never in chance.
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
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
It is not the cares of today, but the cares of tomorrow, that weigh a man down. For the needs of today we have corresponding strength given. For the morrow we are told to trust. It is not ours yet. It is when tomorrow's burden is added to the burden of today that the weight is more than a man can bear.
George MacDonald
Were I asked, what is a fairytale? I should reply, Read Undine: that is a fairytale.
George MacDonald
The doing of things from duty is but a stage on the road to the kingdom of truth and love.
George MacDonald
O Christ, my life, possess me utterly. Take me and make a little Christ of me. If I am anything but thy father's son, 'Tis something not yet from the darkness won. Oh, give me light to live with open eyes. Oh, give me life to hope above all skies.
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
Afflictions are but the shadows of God's wings.
George MacDonald
Oh the folly of any mind that would explain God before obeying Him! That would map out the character of God instead of crying, Lord, what wouldst thou have me to do?
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
Attitudes are more important than facts.
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
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
Work is not always required. There is such a thing as sacred idleness.
George MacDonald
