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.

More quotes by George MacDonald
Alas! this time is never the time for self-denial, it is always the next time. Abstinence is so much more pleasant to contemplate upon the other side of indulgence.
George MacDonald
But when we are following the light, even its extinction is a guide.
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 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
When we are out of sympathy with the young, then I think our work in this world is over
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
God is the God of the animals in a far lovelier way, I suspect, than many of us dare to think, but he will not be the God of a man by making a good beast of him.
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
Beauty and sadness always go together.
George MacDonald
The region of the senses is the unbelieving part of the human soul.
George MacDonald
Where did you get your eyes so blue? Out of the sky as I came through.
George MacDonald
The direst foe of courage is the fear itself, not the object of it and the man who can overcome his own terror is a hero and more.
George MacDonald
Yet I know that good is coming to me—that good is always coming though few have at all times the simplicity and the courage to believe it. What we call evil, is the only and best shape, which, for the person and his condition at the time, could be assumed by the best good. And so, FAREWELL.
George MacDonald
I am an emptiness for Thee to fill my soul a cavern for Thy sea
George MacDonald
What does God want me to do?”, not “What will God do if I do so and so?
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
One thing is clear to me, that no indulgence of passion destroys the spiritual nature so much as respectable selfishness.
George MacDonald
Anything large enough for a wish to light upon, is large enough to hang a prayer upon.
George MacDonald
The whole history of the Christian life is a series of resurrections. . . . Every time we find our hearts are troubled, that we are not rejoicing in God, a resurrection must follow a resurrection out of the night of troubled thought into the gladness of the truth.
George MacDonald
In joy or sorrow, feebleness or might, Peace or commotion, be thou, Father, my delight.
George MacDonald
