More quotes by 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
The boy should enclose and keep, as his life, the old child at the heart of him, and never let it go. He must still, to be a right man, be his mother's darling, and more, his father's pride, and more. The child is not meant to die, but to be forever fresh born.
George MacDonald
There is an aching that is worse than any pain.
George MacDonald
Were I asked, what is a fairytale? I should reply, Read Undine: that is a fairytale.
George MacDonald
God never gave man a thing to do concerning which it were irreverent to ponder how the Son of God would have done it.
George MacDonald
In low theologies, hell is invariably the deepest truth, and the love of God is not so deep as hell.
George MacDonald
You must learn to be strong in the dark as well as in the day, else you will always be only half brave.
George MacDonald
I am sometimes almost terrified at the scope of the demands made upon me, at the perfection of the self-abandonment required of me yet outside of such absoluteness can be no salvation.
George MacDonald
Life and religion are one, or neither is any thing.
George MacDonald
As Christ is the blossom of humanity, so the blossom of every man is Christ perfected in him.
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
The whole trouble is that we won't let God help us.
George MacDonald
A man is in bondage to whatever he cannot part with that is less than himself.
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
Where there is no choice, we do well to make no difficulty.
George MacDonald
All that is made seems planless to the darkened mind, because there are more plans than it looked for...There seems no plan because it is all plan: there seems no centre because it is all centre.
George MacDonald
He who is faithful over a few things is a lord of cities. It does not matter whether you preach in Westminster Abbey or teach a ragged class, so you be faithful. The faithfulness is all.
George MacDonald
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.
George MacDonald
But more impressive than the facts and figures as to height, width, age, etc., are the entrancing beauty and tranquility that pervade the forest, the feelings of peace, awe and reverence that it inspires.
George MacDonald
People must believe what they can, and those who believe more must not be hard upon those who believe less. I doubt if you would have believed it all yourself if you hadn't seen some of it.
George MacDonald
