More quotes by George MacDonald

George MacDonald

George MacDonald

George MacDonald

George MacDonald
The purposes of God point to one simple end-that we should be as he is, think the same thoughts, mean the same things, possess the same blessedness.
George MacDonald
In the midst of death we are in life. Life is the only reality what men call death is but a shadow.
George MacDonald
Beauty and sadness always go together.
George MacDonald
Good souls many will one day be horrified at the things they now believe of God.
George MacDonald
Anything large enough for a wish to light upon, is large enough to hang a prayer upon.
George MacDonald
To receive honestly is the best thanks for a good thing.
George MacDonald
By all means rid yourself of an impoverished faith.
George MacDonald
It is when people do wrong things wilfully that they are the more likely to do them again.
George MacDonald
