Inspirational Quotes by George MacDonald
“And let those that play your clowns speak no more than is set down for them: for there be of them that will themselves laugh, to set on some quantity of barren spectators to laugh too, though in the meantime some necessary question of the play be then to be considered: that’s villanous and shows a most pitiful ambition in the fool that uses it.”
“Тупой разгул на запад и восток Позорит нас среди других народов; Нас называют пьяницами, клички Дают нам свинские; да ведь и вправду — Он наши высочайшие дела Лишает самой сердцевины славы.”
“Tis too much proved, that with devotion’s visage And pious action we do sugar o'er The devil himself.”
“…быть честным при том, каков этот мир, — это значит быть человеком, выуженным из десятка тысяч”
“Si bien entiendo que el amor se sujeta al tiempo, veo que, al ponerse a prueba, también modera el tiempo de la chispa y el fuego de su ardor. En la misma llama del amor vive una especie de pabilo o pavesa que acaba por debilitarla. Nada existe que se mantenga constante en el mismo grado de bondad, pues esta, creciendo hasta la plétora, muere en su propio exceso. Lo que quisiéramos hacer, deberíamos hacerlo en el acto de quererlo, porque ese "querer" cambia y sufre tantas menguas y aplazamientos cuantos son los labios, las manos y las circunstancias por que atraviesa, y entonces ese "deber" vuélvase una especie de suspiro disipador, que hace daño al exhalarlo.”

“What if it tempt you toward the flood, my lord? Or to the dreadful summit of the cliff That beetles o'er his base into the sea, And there assume some other horrible form Which might deprive your sovereignty of reason And draw you into madness? Think of it. [The very place puts toys of desperation, Without more motive, into every brain That looks so many fathoms to the sea And hears it roar beneath.]”
“Slanders, sir. For the satirical rogue says here that old men have gray beards, that their faces are wrinkled, their eyes purging thick amber and plum-tree gum, and that they have a plentiful lack of wit, together with most weak hams—all which, sir, though I most powerfully and potently believe, yet I hold it not honesty to have it thus set down; for yourself, sir, should be old as I am, if like a crab you could go backward.”
“For murder, though it have no tongue, will speak With most miraculous organ.”
“ما الانسان ان كان أفضل ما لديه وخير مايشغله النومُ والأكل؟ حيوانٌ لاغير.”

“There are more things in heaven and earth...than are dreamt of by your philosophy.”
“the wholesale corruption of social relationships, even the most intimate, is an essential part of Shakespeare’s chilling exposure of authoritarian politics.”
“Kadınlar ne kadar severse o kadar korkar. Sevgileri de kuşkuları da varsa aşırı var. Yoksa hiç yoktur. Siz bilirsiniz. Benim ne türlü sevdiğimi. Öyleyse anlayın ne türlü korktuğumu. Büyük sevgide, küçük kuşkular korkuya döner, Küçük korkular büyüdükçe artar büyük sevgiler.”

George MacDonald was a Scottish author, poet, and Christian minister.
Known particularly for his poignant fairy tales and fantasy novels, George MacDonald inspired many authors, such as W. H. Auden, J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, E. Nesbit and Madeleine L'Engle. G. K. Chesterton cited The Princess and the Goblin as a book that had "made a difference to my whole existence."
Even Mark Twain, who initially disliked MacDonald, became friends with him, and there is some evidence that Twain was influenced by MacDonald.
MacDonald grew up influenced by his Congregational Church, with an atmosphere of Calvinism. But MacDonald never felt comfortable with some aspects of Calvinist doctrine; indeed, legend has it that when the doctrine of predestination was first explained to him, he burst into tears (although assured that he was one of the elect). Later novels, such as Robert Falconer and Lilith, show a distaste for the idea that God's electing love is limited to some and denied to others.
