More quotes by George MacDonald

George MacDonald

George MacDonald
Anything large enough for a wish to light upon, is large enough to hang a prayer upon.
George MacDonald
The doing of things from duty is but a stage on the road to the kingdom of truth and love.
George MacDonald
Doubts are the messengers of the Living One to the honest. They are the first knock at our door of things that are not yet, but have to be, understood. . . . Doubts must precede every deeper assurance for uncertainties are what we first see when we look into a region hitherto unknown, unexplored, unannexed.
George MacDonald
And in thy own sermon, thou That the sparrow falls dost allow, It shall not cause me any alarm For neither so comes the bird to harm, Seeing our Father, thou hast said, Is by the sparrow's dying bed Therefore it is a blessed place, And the sparrow in high grace.
George MacDonald

George MacDonald
Life and religion are one, or neither is any thing.
George MacDonald

George MacDonald
To receive honestly is the best thanks for a good thing.
George MacDonald
But when we are following the light, even its extinction is a guide.
George MacDonald
A true friend is forever a friend.
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
He (God) loves what I shall be.
George MacDonald
In low theologies, hell is invariably the deepest truth, and the love of God is not so deep as hell.
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
Forgiveness is the giving, and so the receiving, of life.
George MacDonald
It is not in the nature of politics that the best men should be elected. The best men do not want to govern their fellowmen.
George MacDonald
I believe that no hell will be lacking which would help the just mercy of God to redeem his children.
George MacDonald
