More quotes by 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
But when we are following the light, even its extinction is a guide.
George MacDonald
Diamond, however, had not been out so late before in all his life, and things looked so strange about him! - just as if he had got into Fairyland, of which he knew quite as much as anybody for his mother had no money to buy books to set him wrong on the subject.
George MacDonald
What can money do to console a man with a headache?
George MacDonald
Beauty and sadness always go together.
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
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
To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved.
George MacDonald
One of the good things that come of a true marriage is, that there is one face on which changes come without your seeing them or rather there is one face which you can still see the same, through all the shadows which years have gathered upon it.
George MacDonald
Blessed be the true life that the pauses between its throbs are not death!
George MacDonald
Things come to the poor that can't get in at the door of the rich. Their money somehow blocks it up. It is a great privilege to be poor--one that no man covets, and brat a very few have sought to retain, but one that yet many have learned to prize.
George MacDonald
I believe that no hell will be lacking which would help the just mercy of God to redeem his children.
George MacDonald
No man can make haste to be rich without going against the will of God, in which case it is the one frightful thing to be successful.
George MacDonald
I say again, if I cannot draw a horse, I will not write THIS IS A HORSE under what I foolishly meant for one.
George MacDonald
God hides nothing. His very work from the beginning is revelation--a casting aside of veil after veil, a showing unto men of truth after truth. On and on from fact Divine He advances, until at length in His Son Jesus He unveils His very face.
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
Affliction is but the shadow of God's wing.
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
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
I would not favour a fiction to keep a whole world out of hell. The hell that a lie would keep any man out of is doubtless the very best place for him to go to. It is truth... that saves the world.
George MacDonald
