The kingdom of heaven is not come even when God's will is our law it is fully come when God's will is our will.

Every truth must be accompanied by some corresponding act.
George MacDonald
Image
I came from God, and I'm going back to God, and I won't have any gaps of death in the middle of my life.
George MacDonald
Image
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

The mind of the many is not the mind of God.
George MacDonald
Image
As in all sweetest music, a tinge of sadness was in every note. Nor do we know how much of the pleasures even of life we owe to the intermingled sorrows. Joy cannot unfold the deepest truths, although deepest truth must be deepest joy.
George MacDonald
Image
Only he knew that to be left alone is not always to be forsaken.
George MacDonald
Image
The more I work with the body, keeping my assumptions in a temporary state of reservation, the more I appreciate and sympathize with a given disease. The body no longer appears as a sick or irrational demon, but as a process with its own inner logic and wisdom.
George MacDonald
Image
Thou art beautiful because God created thee, but thou art a slave to sin... wickedness has made you ugly.
George MacDonald
Image
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
Image
The ideal is the only absolute real and it must become the real in the individual life as well, however impossible they may count it who never tried it.
George MacDonald
Image
The holy spirit of the Spring Is working silently.
George MacDonald
Image
The whole history of the Christian life is a series of resurrections. . . . Every time we find our hearts are troubled, that we are not rejoicing in God, a resurrection must follow a resurrection out of the night of troubled thought into the gladness of the truth.
George MacDonald
Image
On Good Friday Jesus died But rose again at Eastertide.....Lord, teach us to understand that your Son died to save us not from suffering but from ourselves, not from injustice...but from being unjust. He died that we might live - but live as he lives, by dying as he died who died to himself.

No story ever really ends, and I think I know why.
George MacDonald
Image
All haste implies weakness.
George MacDonald
Image
You will be dead so long as you refuse to die.
George MacDonald
Image
No man ever sank under the burden of the day. 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
Image
The world...is full of resurrections... Every night that folds us up in darkness is a death and those of you that have been out early, and have seen the first of the dawn, will know it - the day rises out of the night like a being that has burst its tomb and escaped into life.

Philosophy is really homesickness.

Moderation is the basis of justice.
