Division has done more to hide Christ from the view of all men than all the infidelity that has ever been spoken.
George MacDonald
People must believe what they can, and those who believe more must not be hard upon those who believe less. I doubt if you would have believed it all yourself if you hadn't seen some of it.
George MacDonald
There is more hid in Christ than we shall ever learn, here or there either but they that begin first to inquire will soonest be gladdened with revelation and with them He will be best pleased, for the slowness of His disciples troubled Him of old. To say that we must wait for the other world, to know the mind of Him who came t o this world to give Himself to us, seems to me the foolishness of a worldly and lazy spirit. The Son of God is the teacher of men, giving to them of His Spirit that Spirit which manifests the deep things of God, being to a man the mind of Christ. The great heresy of the Church of the present day is unbelief in this Spirit.
George MacDonald
Beauty and sadness always go together. Nature thought beauty too rich to go forth Upon the earth without a meet alloy.
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.
George MacDonald
It matters little where a man may be at this moment; the point is whether he is growing.

These maxims and the art of interpreting them may be said to constitute the premisses of science but I prefer to call them our scientific beliefs. These premisses or beliefs are embodied in a tradition, the tradition of science.

(About Friendship, World)
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.
