George MacDonald Quotes

“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.”

“It is by loving and not by being loved that one can come nearest to the soul of another.”

“To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved.”

“A man is as free as he chooses to make himself, never an atom freer.”

“Certainly work is not always required of a man. There is such a thing as a sacred idleness, the cultivation of which is now fearfully neglected.”
