More quotes by George MacDonald

George MacDonald

George MacDonald
Do not measure God's mind by your own.
George MacDonald
Her face was fair and pretty, with eyes like two bits of night sky, each with a star dissolved in the blue.
George MacDonald

George MacDonald

George MacDonald
Forgiveness unleashes joy. It brings peace. It washes the slate clean. It sets all the highest values of love in motion.
George MacDonald
A true friend is forever a friend.
George MacDonald
To judge religion we must have it--not stare at it from the bottom of a seemingly interminable ladder.
George MacDonald
Life and religion are one, or neither is any thing.
George MacDonald
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
And in thy own sermon, thou That the sparrow falls dost allow, It shall not cause me any alarm For neither so comes the bird to harm, Seeing our Father, thou hast said, Is by the sparrow's dying bed Therefore it is a blessed place, And the sparrow in high grace.
George MacDonald
