More quotes by George MacDonald
A true friend is forever a friend.
George MacDonald

George MacDonald
The Root of All Rebellion: It is because we are not near enough to Thee to partake of thy liberty that we want a liberty of our own different from thine.
George MacDonald
In low theologies, hell is invariably the deepest truth, and the love of God is not so deep as hell.
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
No man has the mind of Christ, except him who makes it his business to obey him.
George MacDonald

George MacDonald
The greatest forces lie in the region of the uncomprehended.
George MacDonald
A man is in bondage to whatever he cannot part with that is less than himself.
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
But when we are following the light, even its extinction is a guide.
George MacDonald
The whole history of the Christian life is a series of resurrections. . . . Every time we find our hearts are troubled, that we are not rejoicing in God, a resurrection must follow a resurrection out of the night of troubled thought into the gladness of the truth.
George MacDonald
In joy or sorrow, feebleness or might, Peace or commotion, be thou, Father, my delight.
George MacDonald
Division has done more to hide Christ from the view of men than all the infidelity that has ever been spoken.
George MacDonald
Will is not unfrequently weakness.
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.
