A fairytale is not an allegory. There may be allegory in it, but it is not an allegory.
George MacDonaldIt is a happy thing for us that this is really all we have to concern ourselves about--what to do next. No man can do the second thing. He can do the first.
George MacDonaldIt has been well said that no man ever sank under the burden of the day. It is, when tomorrow's burden is added to the burden of today, that the weight is more than a man can bear. Never load yourselves so, my friends. If you find yourselves so loaded, at least remember this: it is your own doing, not God's. He begs you to leave the future to Him, and mind the present.
George MacDonald
