George MacDonald
When we are out of sympathy with the young, then I think our work in this world is over
George MacDonald
The region of the senses is the unbelieving part of the human soul.
George MacDonald
But when we are following the light, even its extinction is a guide.
George MacDonald
They will pressure you into doing things that may be unsafe, use your good judgment, and remember, 'I would rather be laughed at, than cried for.'
George MacDonald
