More quotes by George MacDonald

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
Remember, then, that whoever does not mean good is always in danger of harm. But I try to give everybody fair play, and those that are in the wrong are in far more need of it always than those who are in the right: they can afford to do without it.
George MacDonald
Beauty and sadness always go together. Nature thought beauty too rich to go forth Upon the earth without a meet alloy.
George MacDonald

George MacDonald
Friends, if we be honest with ourselves, we shall be honest with each other.
George MacDonald
I am sometimes almost terrified at the scope of the demands made upon me, at the perfection of the self-abandonment required of me yet outside of such absoluteness can be no salvation.
George MacDonald
