More quotes by George MacDonald
Where did you get your eyes so blue? Out of the sky as I came through.
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
A man is in bondage to whatever he cannot part with that is less than himself.
George MacDonald
It was foolish indeed - thus to run farther and farther from all who could help her, as if she had been seeking a fit spot for the goblin creature to eat her in at his leisure but that is the way fear serves us: it always sides with the thing we are afraid of.
George MacDonald
The doing of things from duty is but a stage on the road to the kingdom of truth and love.
George MacDonald
Some thinkers would feel sorely hampered if at liberty to use no forms but such as existed in nature, or to invent nothing save in accordance with the laws of the world of the senses but it must not therefore be imagined that they desire escape from the region of law.
George MacDonald
A true friend is forever a friend.
George MacDonald
Afflictions are but the shadows of God's wings.
George MacDonald
Blessed be the true life that the pauses between its throbs are not death!
George MacDonald
Better to have the poet's heart than brain, Feeling than song.
George MacDonald
Age is not all decay it is the ripening, the swelling, of the fresh life within, that withers and bursts the husk.
George MacDonald
To say on the authority of the Bible that God does a thing no honourable man would do, is to lie against God to say that it is therefore right, is to lie against the very spirit of God.
George MacDonald
And her life will perhaps be the richer, for holding now within it the memory of what came, but could not stay.
George MacDonald
In joy or sorrow, feebleness or might, Peace or commotion, be thou, Father, my delight.
George MacDonald
Life and religion are one, or neither is any thing.
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
As Christ is the blossom of humanity, so the blossom of every man is Christ perfected in him.
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
Suppose you didn't know him, would that make any difference?' 'No,' said Willie, after thinking a little. 'Other people would know him if I didn't.' 'Yes, and if nobody knew him, God would know him, and anybody God has thought worth making, it's an honor to do anything for.
George MacDonald
Love makes everything lovely hate concentrates itself on the one thing hated.
George MacDonald
