In Giving, a man receives more than he gives; and the more is in proportion to the worth of the thing given.
George MacDonaldThe world...is full of resurrections... Every night that folds us up in darkness is a death; and those of you that have been out early, and have seen the first of the dawn, will know it - the day rises out of the night like a being that has burst its tomb and escaped into life.
George MacDonaldThe kingdom of heaven is not come even when God's will is our law; it is fully come when God's will is our will.
George MacDonaldCould you not give me some sign, or tell me something about you that never changes, or some other way to know you, or thing to know you by?" — "No, Curdie: that would be to keep you from knowing me. You must know me in quite another way from that. It would not be the least use to you or me either if I were to make you know me in that way. It would be but to know the sign of me — not to know me myself.
