God Himself - His thoughts, His will, His love, His judgments are men's home. To think His thoughts, to choose His will, to judge His judgments, and thus to know that He is in us, with us, is to be at home.
George MacDonald

More quotes by George MacDonald
Beauty and sadness always go together.
George MacDonald
And so all growth that is not towards God Is growing to decay.
George MacDonald
I am perplexed at the stupidity of the ordinary religious being. In the most practical of all matters he will talk and speculate and try to feel, but he will not set himself to do.
George MacDonald
When a feeling was there, they felt as if it would never go when it was gone, they felt as if it had never been when it returned, they felt as if it had never gone.
George MacDonald
To judge religion we must have it--not stare at it from the bottom of a seemingly interminable ladder.
George MacDonald
We must do the thing we must Before the thing we may We are unfit for any trust Till we can and do obey.
George MacDonald
Forgiveness is the giving, and so the receiving, of life.
George MacDonald
Were I asked, what is a fairytale? I should reply, Read Undine: that is a fairytale.
George MacDonald
He who seeks the Father more than anything He can give, is likely to have what he asks, for he is not likely to ask amiss.
George MacDonald
He (God) loves what I shall be.
George MacDonald
You will be dead so long as you refuse to die.
George MacDonald
One thing is clear to me, that no indulgence of passion destroys the spiritual nature so much as respectable selfishness.
George MacDonald
It is not the cares of today, but the cares of tomorrow, that weigh a man down. For the needs of today we have corresponding strength given. For the morrow we are told to trust. It is not ours yet. 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
On Good Friday Jesus died But rose again at Eastertide.....Lord, teach us to understand that your Son died to save us not from suffering but from ourselves, not from injustice...but from being unjust. He died that we might live - but live as he lives, by dying as he died who died to himself.
George MacDonald
Afflictions are but the shadows of God's wings.
George MacDonald
I am an emptiness for Thee to fill my soul a cavern for Thy sea
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
The region of the senses is the unbelieving part of the human soul.
George MacDonald
All that man sees has to do with man. Worlds cannot be without an intermundane relationship. The community of the centre of all creation suggests an interradiating connection and dependence of the parts. Else a grander idea is conceivable than that which is already embodied.
George MacDonald
Every truth must be accompanied by some corresponding act.
George MacDonald
