Quote by -Fyodor Dostoevsky
"Beggars, especially noble beggars, should never show themselves in the street; they should ask for alms through the newspapers. It's still possible to love one's neighbor abstractly, and even occasionally from a distance, but hardly ever up close."
Quote by -Fyodor Dostoevsky
"In such situations, of course, people don't nurse their anger silently, they moan aloud; but these are not frank, straightforward moans, there is a kind of cunning malice in them, and that's the whole point. Those very moans express the sufferer's delectation; if he did not enjoy his moans, he wouldn't be moaning."
Quote by -Fyodor Dostoevsky
"Love all God’s creation, both the whole and every grain of sand. Love every leaf, every ray of light. Love the animals, love the plants, love each separate thing. If thou love each thing thou wilt perceive the mystery of God in all; and when once thou perceive this, thou wilt thenceforward grow every day to a fuller understanding of it: until thou come at last to love the whole world with a love that will then be all-embracing and universal."
Quote by -Fyodor Dostoevsky
"... active love is a harsh and fearful thing compared with the love in dreams. Love in dreams thirsts for immediate action, quickly performed, and with everyone watching. Indeed, it will go as far as the giving even of one's life, provided it does not take long but is soon over, as on stage, and eveyone is looking on and praising. Whereas active love is labor and persistence, and for some people, perhaps, a whole science."
Quote by -Fyodor Dostoevsky
"Reason and Knowledge have always played a secondary, subordinate, auxiliary role in the life of peoples, and this will always be the case. A people is shaped and driven forward by an entirely different kind of force, one which commands and coerces them and the origin of which is obscure and inexplicable despite the reality of its presence."
Quote by -Fyodor Dostoevsky
"I don't believe that he thinks about His glory except for the sake of truth and men's hearts dying for the lack of it."
Quote by -George MacDonald
"Life eternal, this lady of thine hath a sore heart, and we cannot help her. Thou art help, O Mighty Love. Speak to her, and let her know thy will, and give her strength to do it, O Father of Jesus Christ, Amen."
Quote by -George MacDonald
"The nearer persons come to each other, the greater is the room and the more are the occasions for courtesy; but just in proportion to their approach the gentleness of most men diminishes."
Quote by -George MacDonald
"No one can say he is himself, until first he knows that he is, and then what himself is. In fact, nobody is himself, and himself is nobody."
Quote by -George MacDonald
"People must believe what they can, and those who believe more must not be hard upon those who believe less."
Quote by -George MacDonald
"How kind is weariness sometimes! It is like the Father's hand laid a little heavy on the heart to make it still."
Quote by -George MacDonald

Quote by -George MacDonald
"Theologians have done more to hide the Gospel of Christ than any of its adversaries."
Quote by -George MacDonald
"She was a mother. One who is mother only to her own children is not a mother; she is only a woman who has borne children. But here was one of God's mothers."
Quote by -George MacDonald
