More quotes by George MacDonald
Friends, if we be honest with ourselves, we shall be honest with each other.
George MacDonald
A man must learn to love his children, not because they are his, but because they are children, else his love will be scarcely a better thing at last than the party-spirit of the faithful politician.
George MacDonald
In whatever man does without God, he must fail miserably, or succeed more miserably.
George MacDonald
The kingdom of heaven is not come even when God's will is our law it is fully come when God's will is our will.
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
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.
George MacDonald
Many a thief is a better man than many a clergyman, and miles nearer to the gate of the kingdom.
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
A man is as free as he chooses to make himself, never an atom freer.
George MacDonald
Those that hope little cannot grow much.
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
As you grow ready for it, somewhere or other you will find what is needful for you in a book.
George MacDonald
Philosophy is really homesickness.
George MacDonald
Age is not all decay it is the ripening, the swelling, of the fresh life within, that withers and bursts the husk.
George MacDonald
Life and religion are one, or neither is any thing.
George MacDonald
Were I asked, what is a fairytale? I should reply, Read Undine: that is a fairytale.
George MacDonald
If there be music in my reader, I would gladly wake it.
George MacDonald
All love will, one day, meet with its return. All true love will, one day, behold its own image in the eyes of the beloved, and be humbly glad.
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
The holy spirit of the Spring Is working silently.
George MacDonald
