People must not choose their neighbors they must take the neighbors that God sends them. The neighbor is just the person who is next to you at the moment, the person with whom any business has brought you into contact.

More quotes by George MacDonald
But when we are following the light, even its extinction is a guide.
George MacDonald
Forgiveness is the giving, and so the receiving, of life.
George MacDonald
All haste implies weakness.
George MacDonald
The boy should enclose and keep, as his life, the old child at the heart of him, and never let it go. He must still, to be a right man, be his mother's darling, and more, his father's pride, and more. The child is not meant to die, but to be forever fresh born.
George MacDonald
God never gave man a thing to do concerning which it were irreverent to ponder how the Son of God would have done it.
George MacDonald
All those evil doctrines about God that work misery and madness have their origin in the brains of the wise and prudent, not in the hearts of children.
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
God is the God of the animals in a far lovelier way, I suspect, than many of us dare to think, but he will not be the God of a man by making a good beast of him.
George MacDonald
A voice is in the wind I do not know A meaning on the face of the high hills Whose utterance I cannot comprehend. A something is behind them: that is God.
George MacDonald
Heaven...a place where everything that is not music is silence.
George MacDonald
Affliction is but the shadow of God's wing.
George MacDonald
When we are out of sympathy with the young, then I think our work in this world is over
George MacDonald
For that great Love speaks in the most wretched and dirty hearts only the tone of its voice depends on the echoes of the place in which it sounds.
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 are women who fly their falcons at any game, little birds and all.
George MacDonald
Thou art beautiful because God created thee, but thou art a slave to sin... wickedness has made you ugly.
George MacDonald
For this, deep waters whelm the fruitful lea, Wars ravage, famine wastes, plague withers, nor Shall cease till men have chosen the better part.
George MacDonald
Those that hope little cannot grow much.
George MacDonald
As no scripture is of private interpretation, so is there no feeling in a human heart which exists in that heart alone - which is not, in some form or degree, in every human heart.
George MacDonald
