More quotes by George MacDonald
Do not measure God's mind by your own.
George MacDonald
All that man sees has to do with man. Worlds cannot be without an intermundane relationship. The community of the centre of all creation suggests an interradiating connection and dependence of the parts. Else a grander idea is conceivable than that which is already embodied.
George MacDonald
Cleverness is cheap. It is faith that He praises.
George MacDonald
I firmly believe people have hitherto been a great deal too much taken up about doctrine and far too little about practice. The word doctrine, as used in the Bible, means teaching of duty, not theory.
George MacDonald
What does God want me to do?”, not “What will God do if I do so and so?
George MacDonald
But it is not the rich man only who is under the dominion of things they too are slaves who, having no money, are unhappy from the lack of it.
George MacDonald
A true friend is forever a friend.
George MacDonald
We can walk without fear, full of hope and courage and strength to do His will, waiting for the endless good which He is always giving as fast as He can get us able to take it in.
George MacDonald
The holy spirit of the Spring Is working silently.
George MacDonald
The mind of the many is not the mind of God.
George MacDonald
Common people, whether lords or shop-keepers, are slow to understand that possession, whether in the shape of birth or lands or money or intellect, is a small affair in the difference between men.
George MacDonald
He who is faithful over a few things is a lord of cities. It does not matter whether you preach in Westminster Abbey or teach a ragged class, so you be faithful. The faithfulness is all.
George MacDonald
Friends, if we be honest with ourselves, we shall be honest with each other.
George MacDonald
Why should my love be powerless to help another?
George MacDonald
If both Church and fairy-tale belong to humanity, they may occasionally cross circles, without injury to either.
George MacDonald
The whole trouble is that we won't let God help us.
George MacDonald
To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved.
George MacDonald
Division has done more to hide Christ from the view of men than all the infidelity that has ever been spoken.
George MacDonald
Love makes everything lovely hate concentrates itself on the one thing hated.
George MacDonald
I am an emptiness for Thee to fill my soul a cavern for Thy sea
George MacDonald
