Many a thief is a better man than many a clergyman, and miles nearer to the gate of the kingdom.
George MacDonaldThe ruin of a man's teaching comes of his followers, such as having never touched the foundation he has laid, build upon it wood, hay, and stubble, fit only to be burnt. Therefore, if only to avoid his worst foes, his admirers, a man should avoid system. The more correct a system the worse will it be misunderstood; its professed admirers will take both its errors and their misconceptions of its truths, and hold them forth as its essence.
George MacDonaldWhat I would say is this, that the light is not blinding because God would hide, but because the truth is too glorious for our vision.
