More quotes by George MacDonald
The Root of All Rebellion: It is because we are not near enough to Thee to partake of thy liberty that we want a liberty of our own different from thine.
George MacDonald
The Bible is to me the most precious thing in the world, because it tells me his story and what good men thought about him who knew him and accepted him.
George MacDonald
I wondered over again for the hundredth time what could be the principle which, in the wildest, most lawless, fantastically chaotic, apparently capricious work of Nature, always kept it beautiful.
George MacDonald
By all means rid yourself of an impoverished faith.
George MacDonald
It is to the man who is trying to live, to the man who is obedient to the word of the Master, that the word of the Master unfolds itself.
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
Why should my love be powerless to help another?
George MacDonald
I do not myself believe there is any misfortune. What men call such is merely the shadowside of a good.
George MacDonald
I begin indeed to fear that I have undertaken an impossibility, undertaken to tell what I cannot tell because no speech at my command will fit the forms in my mind.
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
Affliction is but the shadow of God's wing.
George MacDonald
Those that hope little cannot grow much.
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
But words are vain reject them all— They utter but a feeble part: Hear thou the depths from which they call, The voiceless longing of my heart.
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
There is this difference between the growth of some human beings and that of others: in the one case it is a continuous dying, in the other a continuous resurrection.
George MacDonald
You will be dead so long as you refuse to die.
George MacDonald
We profess to think Jesus the grandest and most glorious of men, yet hardly care to be like him. When we are offered his Spirit, that is, his very nature within us, for the asking, we will hardly take the trouble to ask for it.
George MacDonald
All haste implies weakness.
George MacDonald
Anything big enough to occupy our minds is big enough to hang a prayer on.
George MacDonald
