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.

More quotes by George MacDonald
A man is in bondage to whatever he cannot part with that is less than himself.
George MacDonald
All that man sees has to do with man. Worlds cannot be without an intermundane relationship. The community of the centre of all creation suggests an interradiating connection and dependence of the parts. Else a grander idea is conceivable than that which is already embodied.
George MacDonald
Annihilation itself is no death to evil. Only good where evil was, is evil dead. An evil thing must live with its evil until it chooses to be good. That alone is the slaying of evil.
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
Thou art beautiful because God created thee, but thou art a slave to sin... wickedness has made you ugly.
George MacDonald
Blessed be the true life that the pauses between its throbs are not death!
George MacDonald
The whole trouble is that we won't let God help us.
George MacDonald
Afflictions are but the shadows of God's wings.
George MacDonald
Anything large enough for a wish to light upon, is large enough to hang a prayer upon.
George MacDonald
Why should my love be powerless to help another?
George MacDonald
Where there is no choice, we do well to make no difficulty.
George MacDonald
You will be dead so long as you refuse to die.
George MacDonald
The world...is full of resurrections... Every night that folds us up in darkness is a death and those of you that have been out early, and have seen the first of the dawn, will know it - the day rises out of the night like a being that has burst its tomb and escaped into life.
George MacDonald
Where did you get your eyes so blue? Out of the sky as I came through.
George MacDonald
In whatever man does without God, he must fail miserably, or succeed more miserably.
George MacDonald
I believe in fate, never in chance.
George MacDonald
Those that hope little cannot grow much.
George MacDonald
I begin indeed to fear that I have undertaken an impossibility, undertaken to tell what I cannot tell because no speech at my command will fit the forms in my mind.
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
Alas! how easily things go wrong!
George MacDonald
