George MacDonald Quotes

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.

Forgiveness is the giving, and so the receiving, of life.

How strange this fear of death is! We are never frightened at a sunset.

If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give.

It matters little where a man may be at this moment; the point is whether he is growing.

Love is the opener as well as closer of eyes.

Man finds it hard to get what he wants, because he does not want the best; God finds it hard to give, because He would give the best, and man will not take it.

You can't live on amusement. It is the froth on water - an inch deep and then the mud.

There are thousands willing to do great things for one willing to do a small thing.
