More quotes by George MacDonald
Affliction is but the shadow of God's wing.
George MacDonald
Beauty and sadness always go together.
George MacDonald
No man has the mind of Christ, except him who makes it his business to obey him.
George MacDonald
It may be an infinitely less evil to murder a man than to refuse to forgive him. The former may be the act of a moment of passion: the latter is the heart’s choice.
George MacDonald
Life and religion are one, or neither is any thing.
George MacDonald
All haste implies weakness.
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
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
Suppose you didn't know him, would that make any difference?' 'No,' said Willie, after thinking a little. 'Other people would know him if I didn't.' 'Yes, and if nobody knew him, God would know him, and anybody God has thought worth making, it's an honor to do anything for.
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
One of the good things that come of a true marriage is, that there is one face on which changes come without your seeing them or rather there is one face which you can still see the same, through all the shadows which years have gathered upon it.
George MacDonald
A Baby Sermon- The lighting and thunder, they go and they come: But the stars and the stillness are always at home
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
Her face was fair and pretty, with eyes like two bits of night sky, each with a star dissolved in the blue.
George MacDonald
Moderation is the basis of justice.
George MacDonald
It was foolish indeed - thus to run farther and farther from all who could help her, as if she had been seeking a fit spot for the goblin creature to eat her in at his leisure but that is the way fear serves us: it always sides with the thing we are afraid of.
George MacDonald
What God may hereafter require of you, you must not give yourself the least trouble about. Everything He gives you to do, you must do as well as ever you can, and that is the best possible preparation for what He may want you to do next. If people would but do what they have to do, they would always find themselves ready for what came next.
George MacDonald
It is not the cares of today, but the cares of tomorrow, that weigh a man down. For the needs of today we have corresponding strength given. For the morrow we are told to trust. It is not ours yet. 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
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
I do not myself believe there is any misfortune. What men call such is merely the shadowside of a good.
George MacDonald
