A man is in bondage to whatever he cannot part with that is less than himself.
George MacDonald
Image
And her life will perhaps be the richer, for holding now within it the memory of what came, but could not stay.
George MacDonald
Image
Life and religion are one, or neither is any thing.
George MacDonald
Image
People must believe what they can, and those who believe more must not be hard upon those who believe less. I doubt if you would have believed it all yourself if you hadn't seen some of it.
George MacDonald
Image
We are often unable to tell people what they need to know, because they want to know something else, and would therefore only misunderstand what we said.
George MacDonald
Image
It is not the cares of today, but the cares of tomorrow, that weigh a man down. For the needs of today we have corresponding strength given. For the morrow we are told to trust. It is not ours yet. It is when tomorrow's burden is added to the burden of today that the weight is more than a man can bear.

Alas! how easily things go wrong!
George MacDonald
Image
Moderation is the basis of justice.
George MacDonald
Image
To love righteousness is to make it grow, not to avenge it. Throughout his life on earth, Jesus resisted every impulse to work more rapidly for a lower good.
George MacDonald
Image
Good souls many will one day be horrified at the things they now believe of God.
George MacDonald
Image
Attitudes are more important than facts.
George MacDonald
Image
I begin indeed to fear that I have undertaken an impossibility, undertaken to tell what I cannot tell because no speech at my command will fit the forms in my mind.
George MacDonald
Image
The holy spirit of the Spring Is working silently.

Diamond, however, had not been out so late before in all his life, and things looked so strange about him! - just as if he had got into Fairyland, of which he knew quite as much as anybody for his mother had no money to buy books to set him wrong on the subject.

The doing of things from duty is but a stage on the road to the kingdom of truth and love.
