More quotes by George MacDonald
When we are out of sympathy with the young, then I think our work in this world is over
George MacDonald
The holy spirit of the Spring Is working silently.
George MacDonald
No one is likely to remember what is entirely uninteresting to him.
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
Instead of asking yourself whether you believe or not, ask yourself whether you have, this day, done one thing because He said, Do it! or once abstained because He said, Do not do it! It is simply absurd to say you believe, or even want to believe, in Him, if you do not do anything He tells you.
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
Whose work is it but your own to open your eyes? But indeed the business of the universe is to make such a fool out of you that you will know yourself for one, and begin to be wise.
George MacDonald
It is when people do wrong things wilfully that they are the more likely to do them again.
George MacDonald
A fairytale is not an allegory. There may be allegory in it, but it is not an allegory.
George MacDonald
Good souls many will one day be horrified at the things they now believe of God.
George MacDonald
Love makes everything lovely hate concentrates itself on the one thing hated.
George MacDonald
All haste implies weakness.
George MacDonald
There is but one thing that can free a man from superstition, and that is belief. All history proves it. The most sceptical have ever been the most credulous.
George MacDonald
People must believe what they can, and those who believe more must not be hard upon those who believe less. I doubt if you would have believed it all yourself if you hadn't seen some of it.
George MacDonald
To receive honestly is the best thanks for a good thing.
George MacDonald
I am an emptiness for Thee to fill my soul a cavern for Thy sea
George MacDonald
We are often unable to tell people what they need to know, because they want to know something else, and would therefore only misunderstand what we said.
George MacDonald
Affliction is but the shadow of God's wing.
George MacDonald
Afflictions are but the shadows of God's wings.
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
