George MacDonald
Image
No, there is no escape. There is no heaven with a little of hell in it--no plan to retain this or that of the devil in our hearts or our pockets. Out Satan must go, every hair and feather!
George MacDonald
Image
In Giving, a man receives more than he gives and the more is in proportion to the worth of the thing given.
George MacDonald

George MacDonald
Image
I learned that he that will be a hero will barely be a man that he that will be nothing but a doer of his work is sure of his manhood.
