More quotes by George MacDonald
Anything big enough to occupy our minds is big enough to hang a prayer on.
George MacDonald
Those that hope little cannot grow much.
George MacDonald
In Giving, a man receives more than he gives and the more is in proportion to the worth of the thing given.
George MacDonald
Better to have the poet's heart than brain, Feeling than song.
George MacDonald
How strange this fear of death is! We are never frightened at a sunset.
George MacDonald
Until a man has love, it is well he should have fear. So long as there are wild beasts about, it is better to be afraid than secure.
George MacDonald
If those who had set themselves to explain the various theories of Christianity had set themselves instead to do the will of the Master, how different the world would be now!
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
Philosophy is really homesickness.
George MacDonald
Beauty and sadness always go together.
George MacDonald
Attitudes are more important than facts.
George MacDonald
The Root of All Rebellion: It is because we are not near enough to Thee to partake of thy liberty that we want a liberty of our own different from thine.
George MacDonald
Alas! this time is never the time for self-denial, it is always the next time. Abstinence is so much more pleasant to contemplate upon the other side of indulgence.
George MacDonald
Blessed be the true life that the pauses between its throbs are not death!
George MacDonald
You thought you were going to be made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it himself. (Quoted by C.S.Lewis in Mere Christianity)
George MacDonald
There are women who fly their falcons at any game, little birds and all.
George MacDonald
Instead of asking yourself whether you believe or not, ask yourself whether you have, this day, done one thing because He said, Do it! or once abstained because He said, Do not do it! It is simply absurd to say you believe, or even want to believe, in Him, if you do not do anything He tells you.
George MacDonald
Truth is truth, whether from the lips of Jesus or Balaam.
George MacDonald
As Christ is the blossom of humanity, so the blossom of every man is Christ perfected in him.
George MacDonald
It is not the cares of today, but the cares of tomorrow, that weigh a man down.
George MacDonald
