More quotes by George MacDonald
To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved.
George MacDonald
A fairytale is not an allegory. There may be allegory in it, but it is not an allegory.
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
Whose work is it but your own to open your eyes? But indeed the business of the universe is to make such a fool out of you that you will know yourself for one, and begin to be wise.
George MacDonald
I dare not say with Paul that I am the slave of Christ, but my highest aspiration and desire is to be the slave of Christ.
George MacDonald
Friends, if we be honest with ourselves, we shall be honest with each other.
George MacDonald
Where did you get your eyes so blue? Out of the sky as I came through.
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
Where there is no choice, we do well to make no difficulty.
George MacDonald

George MacDonald
No one is likely to remember what is entirely uninteresting to him.
George MacDonald
As Christ is the blossom of humanity, so the blossom of every man is Christ perfected in him.
George MacDonald
If God were not only to hear our prayers, as he does ever and always, but to answer them as we want them answered, he would not be God our Saviour but the ministering genius of our destruction.
George MacDonald
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
The Lord never came to deliver men from the consequences of their sins while yet those sins remained...Yet men, loving their sins and feeling nothing of their dread hatefulness, have, consistent with their low condition, constantly taken this word concerning the Lord to mean that he came to save them from the punishment of their sins.
George MacDonald
In whatever man does without God, he must fail miserably, or succeed more miserably.
George MacDonald
One thing is clear to me, that no indulgence of passion destroys the spiritual nature so much as respectable selfishness.
George MacDonald
If both Church and fairy-tale belong to humanity, they may occasionally cross circles, without injury to either.
George MacDonald
To be humbly ashamed is to be plunged in the cleansing bath of truth.
George MacDonald
