More quotes by George MacDonald
But, for as cold and wretched as it looks, the sun has not forsaken it. He has only drawn away from it a little, for good reasons, one of which is that we may learn that we cannot do without him.
George MacDonald
Suppose you didn't know him, would that make any difference?' 'No,' said Willie, after thinking a little. 'Other people would know him if I didn't.' 'Yes, and if nobody knew him, God would know him, and anybody God has thought worth making, it's an honor to do anything for.
George MacDonald
You will be dead so long as you refuse to die.
George MacDonald
Attitudes are more important than facts.
George MacDonald
There is no cheating in nature and the simple unsought feelings of the soul. There must be a truth involved in it, though we may but in part lay hold of the meaning.
George MacDonald
I believe in fate, never in chance.
George MacDonald
I begin indeed to fear that I have undertaken an impossibility, undertaken to tell what I cannot tell because no speech at my command will fit the forms in my mind.
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
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
The world...is full of resurrections... Every night that folds us up in darkness is a death and those of you that have been out early, and have seen the first of the dawn, will know it - the day rises out of the night like a being that has burst its tomb and escaped into life.
George MacDonald
A man is in bondage to whatever he cannot part with that is less than himself.
George MacDonald
We profess to think Jesus the grandest and most glorious of men, yet hardly care to be like him. When we are offered his Spirit, that is, his very nature within us, for the asking, we will hardly take the trouble to ask for it.
George MacDonald
Every truth must be accompanied by some corresponding act.
George MacDonald
Truth is truth, whether from the lips of Jesus or Balaam.
George MacDonald
No man ever sank under the burden of the day. It is when tomorrow's burden is added to the burden of today that the weight is more than a man can bear.
George MacDonald
A man is as free as he chooses to make himself, never an atom freer.
George MacDonald
Better to have the poet's heart than brain, Feeling than song.
George MacDonald
It is the heart that is not sure of its God that is afraid to laugh in His presence.
George MacDonald
All those evil doctrines about God that work misery and madness have their origin in the brains of the wise and prudent, not in the hearts of children.
George MacDonald
I came from God, and I'm going back to God, and I won't have any gaps of death in the middle of my life.
George MacDonald
