More quotes by George MacDonald
No man has the mind of Christ, except him who makes it his business to obey him.
George MacDonald
You must learn to be strong in the dark as well as in the day, else you will always be only half brave.
George MacDonald
But more impressive than the facts and figures as to height, width, age, etc., are the entrancing beauty and tranquility that pervade the forest, the feelings of peace, awe and reverence that it inspires.
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
I don't know how to thank you.' Then I will tell you. There is only one way I care for. Do better, and grow better, and be better.
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
A man must learn to love his children, not because they are his, but because they are children, else his love will be scarcely a better thing at last than the party-spirit of the faithful politician.
George MacDonald
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
I am perplexed at the stupidity of the ordinary religious being. In the most practical of all matters he will talk and speculate and try to feel, but he will not set himself to do.
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
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.
George MacDonald
Life and religion are one, or neither is any thing.
George MacDonald
In the midst of death we are in life. Life is the only reality what men call death is but a shadow.
George MacDonald
The holy spirit of the Spring Is working silently.
George MacDonald
By all means rid yourself of an impoverished faith.
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
Oh the folly of any mind that would explain God before obeying Him! That would map out the character of God instead of crying, Lord, what wouldst thou have me to do?
George MacDonald
O Christ, my life, possess me utterly. Take me and make a little Christ of me. If I am anything but thy father's son, 'Tis something not yet from the darkness won. Oh, give me light to live with open eyes. Oh, give me life to hope above all skies.
George MacDonald
It is not the cares of today, but the cares of tomorrow, that weigh a man down.
George MacDonald
