George MacDonald
 A beast does not know that he is a beast, and the nearer a man gets to being a beast, the less he knows it. |
| Afflictions are but the shadows of God's wings. |
| Age is not all decay; it is the ripening, the swelling, of the fresh life within, that withers and bursts the husk. |
| Anything large enough for a wish to light upon, is large enough to hang a prayer upon. |
| Attitudes are more important than facts. |
| Beauty and sadness always go together. Nature thought beauty too rich to go forth Upon the earth without a meet alloy. |
| But for money and the need of it, there would not be half the friendship in the world. It is powerful for good if divinely used. Give it plenty of air and it is sweet as the hawthorn; shut it up and it cankers and breeds worms. |
| Certainly work is not always required of a man. There is such a thing as a sacred idleness - the cultivation of which is now fearfully neglected. |
| Division has done more to hide Christ from the view of men than all infidelity that has ever been spoken |
| Doubts are the messengers of the Living One to the honest. They are the first knock at our door of things that are not yet, but have to be, understood. Doubt must precede every deeper assurance. |
| Existence was given us for action. Our worth is determined by the good deed we do, rather than by the fine emotions we feel, |
| Few delights can equal the presence of one whom we trust utterly. |
| Forgiveness is the giving, and so the receiving, of life. |
| Friends, if we be honest with ourselves, we shall be honest with each other |
| God left the world unfinished for man to work his skill upon. He left the electricity still in the cloud, the oil still in the earth. How often we look upon God as our last and feeblest resource! We go to Him because we have nowhere else to go. And then we learn that the storms of life have driven us, not upon the rocks, but into the desired haven. |
