More quotes by George MacDonald
Where there is no choice, we do well to make no difficulty.
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
I am an emptiness for Thee to fill my soul a cavern for Thy sea
George MacDonald
And her life will perhaps be the richer, for holding now within it the memory of what came, but could not stay.
George MacDonald
Come, then, affliction, if my Father wills, and be my frowning friend. A friend that frowns is better than a smiling enemy.
George MacDonald
Cleverness is cheap. It is faith that He praises.
George MacDonald
Her face was fair and pretty, with eyes like two bits of night sky, each with a star dissolved in the blue.
George MacDonald
Right gladly would He free them from their misery, but He knows only one way: He will teach them to be like himself, meek and lowly, bearing with gladness the yoke of His Father's will. This in the one, the only right, the only possible way of freeing them from their sin, the cause of their unrest.
George MacDonald
The doing of things from duty is but a stage on the road to the kingdom of truth and love.
George MacDonald
The more I work with the body, keeping my assumptions in a temporary state of reservation, the more I appreciate and sympathize with a given disease. The body no longer appears as a sick or irrational demon, but as a process with its own inner logic and wisdom.
George MacDonald
But words are vain reject them all— They utter but a feeble part: Hear thou the depths from which they call, The voiceless longing of my heart.
George MacDonald
There is an aching that is worse than any pain.
George MacDonald
In low theologies, hell is invariably the deepest truth, and the love of God is not so deep as hell.
George MacDonald
Doubts are the messengers of the Living One to the honest. They are the first knock at our door of things that are not yet, but have to be, understood. . . . Doubts must precede every deeper assurance for uncertainties are what we first see when we look into a region hitherto unknown, unexplored, unannexed.
George MacDonald
I find the doing of the will of God leaves me no time for disputing about his plans — I do not say for thinking about them.
George MacDonald
Only he knew that to be left alone is not always to be forsaken.
George MacDonald
When a feeling was there, they felt as if it would never go when it was gone, they felt as if it had never been when it returned, they felt as if it had never gone.
George MacDonald
I wondered over again for the hundredth time what could be the principle which, in the wildest, most lawless, fantastically chaotic, apparently capricious work of Nature, always kept it beautiful.
George MacDonald
In the hearts of witches, love and hate lie close together and often tumble over each other.
George MacDonald
It may be an infinitely less evil to murder a man than to refuse to forgive him. The former may be the act of a moment of passion: the latter is the heart’s choice.
