More quotes by George MacDonald
Man finds it hard to get what he wants, because he does not want the best God finds it hard to give, because He would give the best, and man will not take it.
George MacDonald
A true friend is forever a friend.
George MacDonald
All those evil doctrines about God that work misery and madness have their origin in the brains of the wise and prudent, not in the hearts of children.
George MacDonald
Only he knew that to be left alone is not always to be forsaken.
George MacDonald
I am an emptiness for Thee to fill my soul a cavern for Thy sea
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, for as cold and wretched as it looks, the sun has not forsaken it. He has only drawn away from it a little, for good reasons, one of which is that we may learn that we cannot do without him.
George MacDonald
In joy or sorrow, feebleness or might, Peace or commotion, be thou, Father, my delight.
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
No man ever sank under the burden of the day. 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
I don't know how to thank you.' Then I will tell you. There is only one way I care for. Do better, and grow better, and be better.
George MacDonald
A man is in bondage to whatever he cannot part with that is less than himself.
George MacDonald
You will be dead so long as you refuse to die.
George MacDonald
You thought you were going to be made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it himself. (Quoted by C.S.Lewis in Mere Christianity)
George MacDonald
Remember, then, that whoever does not mean good is always in danger of harm. But I try to give everybody fair play, and those that are in the wrong are in far more need of it always than those who are in the right: they can afford to do without it.
George MacDonald
But words are vain reject them all— They utter but a feeble part: Hear thou the depths from which they call, The voiceless longing of my heart.
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
But when we are following the light, even its extinction is a guide.
George MacDonald
Do not measure God's mind by your own.
George MacDonald
Where did you get your eyes so blue? Out of the sky as I came through.
George MacDonald
