I do not myself believe there is any misfortune. What men call such is merely the shadowside of a good.
George MacDonald
Image
Remember, then, that whoever does not mean good is always in danger of harm. But I try to give everybody fair play, and those that are in the wrong are in far more need of it always than those who are in the right: they can afford to do without it.

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
Image
I rose as from the death that wipes out the sadness of life, and then dies itself in the new morrow.
George MacDonald
Image
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.

Forgiveness is the giving, and so the receiving, of life.

Image
The kingdom of heaven is not come even when God's will is our law it is fully come when God's will is our will.

Image
Division has done more to hide Christ from the view of men than all the infidelity that has ever been spoken.
George MacDonald
Image
All love will, one day, meet with its return. All true love will, one day, behold its own image in the eyes of the beloved, and be humbly glad.
George MacDonald
Image
The direst foe of courage is the fear itself, not the object of it and the man who can overcome his own terror is a hero and more.
George MacDonald
Image
A man must learn to love his children, not because they are his, but because they are children, else his love will be scarcely a better thing at last than the party-spirit of the faithful politician.
George MacDonald
Image
As you grow ready for it, somewhere or other you will find what is needful for you in a book.
George MacDonald
Image
He who is faithful over a few things is a lord of cities. It does not matter whether you preach in Westminster Abbey or teach a ragged class, so you be faithful. The faithfulness is all.
George MacDonald
Image
As Christ is the blossom of humanity, so the blossom of every man is Christ perfected in him.
George MacDonald
Image
I am so tried by the things said about God. I understand God's patience with the wicked, but I do wonder how he can be so patient with the pious!
George MacDonald
Image
A man is in bondage to whatever he cannot part with that is less than himself.
George MacDonald
Image
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.

You will be dead so long as you refuse to die.
George MacDonald
Image
No man has the mind of Christ, except him who makes it his business to obey him.

Work is not always required. There is such a thing as sacred idleness.
