Several from George MacDonald

(George MacDonald - found here)

Lonely
“There is one kind of religion in which the more devoted a man is, the fewer proselytes he makes: the worship of himself.”

Evil
“What springs from myself and not from God is evil: It is a perversion of something of God’s. Whatever is not of faith is sin; it is a stream cut off — a stream that cuts itself off from its source and thinks to run on without it.”

Assimilation
“All wickedness tends to destroy individuality and declining natures assimilate as they sink.”

False
“It is not by driving away our brother that we can be alone with God.”

Love
“Love makes everything lovely: hate concentrates itself on the one thing hated.”

~George MacDonald
