More quotes by George MacDonald
To receive honestly is the best thanks for a good thing.
George MacDonald

George MacDonald
In whatever man does without God, he must fail miserably, or succeed more miserably.
George MacDonald
Every truth must be accompanied by some corresponding act.
George MacDonald
He who seeks the Father more than anything He can give, is likely to have what he asks, for he is not likely to ask amiss.
George MacDonald
There are women who fly their falcons at any game, little birds and all.
George MacDonald
It needs brains to be a real fool.
George MacDonald
When a feeling was there, they felt as if it would never go when it was gone, they felt as if it had never been when it returned, they felt as if it had never gone.
George MacDonald
Forgiveness is the giving, and so the receiving, of life.
George MacDonald
Philosophy is really homesickness.
George MacDonald
