More quotes by George MacDonald
Things come to the poor that can't get in at the door of the rich. Their money somehow blocks it up. It is a great privilege to be poor--one that no man covets, and brat a very few have sought to retain, but one that yet many have learned to prize.
George MacDonald
We die daily. Happy those who daily come to life as well.
George MacDonald
We must do the thing we must Before the thing we may We are unfit for any trust Till we can and do obey.
George MacDonald
The boy should enclose and keep, as his life, the old child at the heart of him, and never let it go. He must still, to be a right man, be his mother's darling, and more, his father's pride, and more. The child is not meant to die, but to be forever fresh born.
George MacDonald
I do not myself believe there is any misfortune. What men call such is merely the shadowside of a good.
George MacDonald
A true friend is forever a friend.
George MacDonald
I am an emptiness for Thee to fill my soul a cavern for Thy sea
George MacDonald
I learned that he that will be a hero will barely be a man that he that will be nothing but a doer of his work is sure of his manhood.
George MacDonald
If there be music in my reader, I would gladly wake it.
George MacDonald
Truth is truth, whether from the lips of Jesus or Balaam.
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
To say on the authority of the Bible that God does a thing no honourable man would do, is to lie against God to say that it is therefore right, is to lie against the very spirit of God.
George MacDonald
And her life will perhaps be the richer, for holding now within it the memory of what came, but could not stay.
George MacDonald
They will pressure you into doing things that may be unsafe, use your good judgment, and remember, 'I would rather be laughed at, than cried for.'
George MacDonald
If you care to see God, be pure. If you will not be pure, you will grow more and more impure.
George MacDonald
But more impressive than the facts and figures as to height, width, age, etc., are the entrancing beauty and tranquility that pervade the forest, the feelings of peace, awe and reverence that it inspires.
George MacDonald
The purposes of God point to one simple end-that we should be as he is, think the same thoughts, mean the same things, possess the same blessedness.
George MacDonald
I dare not say with Paul that I am the slave of Christ, but my highest aspiration and desire is to be the slave of Christ.
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
Where did you get your eyes so blue? Out of the sky as I came through.
