George MacDonald
But when we are following the light, even its extinction is a guide.
George MacDonald

George MacDonald

George MacDonald
For this, deep waters whelm the fruitful lea, Wars ravage, famine wastes, plague withers, nor Shall cease till men have chosen the better part.

George MacDonald

George MacDonald
One chief cause of the amount of unbelief in the world is tha tthose who have seen something of the glory of Christ set themselves to theorize concerning him rather than to obey him.
George MacDonald
Primarily, God is not bound to punish sin he is bound to destroy sin. The only vengeance worth having on sin is to make the sinner himself its executioner.
George MacDonald
No man can make haste to be rich without going against the will of God, in which case it is the one frightful thing to be successful.
George MacDonald
Anything big enough to occupy our minds is big enough to hang a prayer on.
George MacDonald
Better to have the poet's heart than brain, Feeling than song.
George MacDonald
