George MacDonald
And so all growth that is not towards God Is growing to decay.

What can money do to console a man with a headache?
George MacDonald
As you grow ready for it, somewhere or other you will find what is needful for you in a book.
George MacDonald
I am perplexed at the stupidity of the ordinary religious being. In the most practical of all matters he will talk and speculate and try to feel, but he will not set himself to do.
George MacDonald
Right gladly would He free them from their misery, but He knows only one way: He will teach them to be like himself, meek and lowly, bearing with gladness the yoke of His Father's will. This in the one, the only right, the only possible way of freeing them from their sin, the cause of their unrest.
George MacDonald
The kingdom of heaven is not come even when God's will is our law it is fully come when God's will is our will.
George MacDonald
It is not in the nature of politics that the best men should be elected. The best men do not want to govern their fellowmen.

George MacDonald
The region of the senses is the unbelieving part of the human soul.
George MacDonald
A true friend is forever a friend.
George MacDonald
When we are out of sympathy with the young, then I think our work in this world is over
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
No man has the mind of Christ, except him who makes it his business to obey him.
George MacDonald
Friends, if we be honest with ourselves, we shall be honest with each other.
George MacDonald
A voice is in the wind I do not know A meaning on the face of the high hills Whose utterance I cannot comprehend. A something is behind them: that is God.
George MacDonald
For the bliss of the animals lies in this, that, on their lower level, they shadow the bliss of those--few at any moment on the earth--who do not 'look before and after, and pine for what is not,' but live in the holy carelessness of the eternal now.
George MacDonald
Will is not unfrequently weakness.
George MacDonald
There is little hope of the repentance and redemption of certain some until they have committed one or another of the many wrong things of which they are daily, through a course of unrestrained selfishness, becoming more and more capable.
George MacDonald
