More quotes by George MacDonald
The Bible is to me the most precious thing in the world, because it tells me his story and what good men thought about him who knew him and accepted him.
George MacDonald
No, there is no escape. There is no heaven with a little of hell in it--no plan to retain this or that of the devil in our hearts or our pockets. Out Satan must go, every hair and feather!
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
If both Church and fairy-tale belong to humanity, they may occasionally cross circles, without injury to either.
George MacDonald
You will be dead so long as you refuse to die.
George MacDonald
Where there is no choice, we do well to make no difficulty.
George MacDonald

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
Where did you get your eyes so blue? Out of the sky as I came through.
George MacDonald
Man finds it hard to get what he wants, because he does not want the best God finds it hard to give, because He would give the best, and man will not take it.
George MacDonald
Alas! how easily things go wrong!
George MacDonald
In the midst of death we are in life. Life is the only reality what men call death is but a shadow.
George MacDonald
No one is likely to remember what is entirely uninteresting to him.
George MacDonald
The mind of the many is not the mind of God.
George MacDonald
Forgiveness is the giving and so the receiving of life. the latter may be an impulse of a moment of heat whereas the former is a cold and deliberate choice of the heart.
George MacDonald
It needs brains to be a real fool.
George MacDonald
Those that hope little cannot grow much.
