All that is made seems planless to the darkened mind, because there are more plans than it looked for...There seems no plan because it is all plan: there seems no centre because it is all centre.
George MacDonaldA Baby Sermon- The lighting and thunder, they go and they come: But the stars and the stillness are always at home
George MacDonaldThere is no inborn longing that shall not be fulfilled. I think that is as certain as the forgiveness of sins.
George MacDonaldLet me, if I may, be ever welcomed to my room in winter by a glowing hearth, in summer by a vase of flowers. If I may not, let me think how nice they would be and bury myself in my work. I do not think that the road to contentment lies in despising what we have not got. Let us acknowledge all good, all delight that the worlds holds, and be content without it.
George MacDonald
