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
Image
It is when people do wrong things wilfully that they are the more likely to do them again.
George MacDonald
Image
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

Philosophy is really homesickness.
George MacDonald
Image
Oh the folly of any mind that would explain God before obeying Him! That would map out the character of God instead of crying, Lord, what wouldst thou have me to do?
George MacDonald

We profess to think Jesus the grandest and most glorious of men, yet hardly care to be like him. When we are offered his Spirit, that is, his very nature within us, for the asking, we will hardly take the trouble to ask for it.
