More quotes by George MacDonald
To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved.
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
On Good Friday Jesus died But rose again at Eastertide.....Lord, teach us to understand that your Son died to save us not from suffering but from ourselves, not from injustice...but from being unjust. He died that we might live - but live as he lives, by dying as he died who died to himself.
George MacDonald
Faith is that which, knowing the Lord's will, goes and does it or, not knowing it, stands and waits, content in ignorance as in knowledge, because God wills - neither pressing into the hidden future, nor careless of the knowledge which opens the path of action
George MacDonald
Truth is truth, whether from the lips of Jesus or Balaam.
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
Philosophy is really homesickness.
George MacDonald
Nothing makes one feel so strong as a call for help.
George MacDonald
Thou art beautiful because God created thee, but thou art a slave to sin... wickedness has made you ugly.
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 firmly believe people have hitherto been a great deal too much taken up about doctrine and far too little about practice. The word doctrine, as used in the Bible, means teaching of duty, not theory.
George MacDonald
The greatest forces lie in the region of the uncomprehended.
George MacDonald
Only he knew that to be left alone is not always to be forsaken.
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
The region of the senses is the unbelieving part of the human soul.
George MacDonald
Good souls many will one day be horrified at the things they now believe of God.
George MacDonald
O Christ, my life, possess me utterly. Take me and make a little Christ of me. If I am anything but thy father's son, 'Tis something not yet from the darkness won. Oh, give me light to live with open eyes. Oh, give me life to hope above all skies.
George MacDonald
Afflictions are but the shadows of God's wings.
George MacDonald
The mind of the many is not the mind of God.
George MacDonald
The direst foe of courage is the fear itself, not the object of it and the man who can overcome his own terror is a hero and more.
George MacDonald
