George MacDonald
Diamond, however, had not been out so late before in all his life, and things looked so strange about him! - just as if he had got into Fairyland, of which he knew quite as much as anybody for his mother had no money to buy books to set him wrong on the subject.
George MacDonald

George MacDonald
The mind of the many is not the mind of God.
George MacDonald
Many a thief is a better man than many a clergyman, and miles nearer to the gate of the kingdom.
George MacDonald
