More quotes by George MacDonald
We die daily. Happy those who daily come to life as well.
George MacDonald
Come, then, affliction, if my Father wills, and be my frowning friend. A friend that frowns is better than a smiling enemy.
George MacDonald
There is no water in oxygen, no water in hydrogen: it comes bubbling fresh from the imagination of the living God, rushing from under the great white throne of the glacier. The very thought of it makes one gasp with an elemental joy no metaphysician can analyse.
George MacDonald
A true friend is forever a friend.
George MacDonald
Forgiveness is the giving, and so the receiving, of life.
George MacDonald
Good souls many will one day be horrified at the things they now believe of God.
George MacDonald

George MacDonald
Nothing makes one feel so strong as a call for help.
George MacDonald

George MacDonald
Cleverness is cheap. It is faith that He praises.
George MacDonald
I believe in fate, never in chance.
George MacDonald
To judge religion we must have it--not stare at it from the bottom of a seemingly interminable ladder.
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
There is no cheating in nature and the simple unsought feelings of the soul. There must be a truth involved in it, though we may but in part lay hold of the meaning.
George MacDonald
What God may hereafter require of you, you must not give yourself the least trouble about. Everything He gives you to do, you must do as well as ever you can, and that is the best possible preparation for what He may want you to do next. If people would but do what they have to do, they would always find themselves ready for what came next.
George MacDonald
Every truth must be accompanied by some corresponding act.
George MacDonald
If those who had set themselves to explain the various theories of Christianity had set themselves instead to do the will of the Master, how different the world would be now!
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
I am so tried by the things said about God. I understand God's patience with the wicked, but I do wonder how he can be so patient with the pious!
George MacDonald
The region of the senses is the unbelieving part of the human soul.
George MacDonald
