More quotes by George MacDonald
What a man is lies as certainly upon his countenance as in his heart, though none of his acquaintances may be able to read it. The very intercourse with him may have rendered it more difficult.
George MacDonald
No story ever really ends, and I think I know why.
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
Nothing makes one feel so strong as a call for help.
George MacDonald
As to the pure all things are pure, so the common mind sees far more vulgarity in others than the mind developed in genuine refinement.
George MacDonald
The mind of the many is not the mind of God.
George MacDonald
A man is as free as he chooses to make himself, never an atom freer.
George MacDonald
Will is not unfrequently weakness.
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
It may be an infinitely less evil to murder a man than to refuse to forgive him. The former may be the act of a moment of passion: the latter is the heart’s choice.
George MacDonald
I would not favour a fiction to keep a whole world out of hell. The hell that a lie would keep any man out of is doubtless the very best place for him to go to. It is truth... that saves the world.
George MacDonald
I learned that he that will be a hero will barely be a man that he that will be nothing but a doer of his work is sure of his manhood.
George MacDonald
Friends, if we be honest with ourselves, we shall be honest with each other.
George MacDonald
People must not choose their neighbors they must take the neighbors that God sends them. The neighbor is just the person who is next to you at the moment, the person with whom any business has brought you into contact.
George MacDonald
If God were not only to hear our prayers, as he does ever and always, but to answer them as we want them answered, he would not be God our Saviour but the ministering genius of our destruction.
George MacDonald
To love righteousness is to make it grow, not to avenge it. Throughout his life on earth, Jesus resisted every impulse to work more rapidly for a lower good.
George MacDonald
I know my Easts and Tom Brown, you see, and they're never happy unless their morality is being tried in the furnace and they can feel they are doing the right Christian thing and never mind the consequences to anyone else.
George MacDonald
No man can make haste to be rich without going against the will of God, in which case it is the one frightful thing to be successful.
George MacDonald
A fairytale is not an allegory. There may be allegory in it, but it is not an allegory.
George MacDonald
Attitudes are more important than facts.
