For the bliss of the animals lies in this, that, on their lower level, they shadow the bliss of those--few at any moment on the earth--who do not 'look before and after, and pine for what is not,' but live in the holy carelessness of the eternal now.

For the bliss of the animals lies in this, that, on their lower level, they shadow the bliss of those--few at any moment on the earth--who do not 'look before and after, and pine for what is not,' but live in the holy carelessness of the eternal now.

More From George MacDonald

...bliss is not something to be got. on the other hand you are always bliss. this desire [for bliss] is born of the sense of incompleteness. to whom is this sense of incompleteness? enquire. in deep sleep you were blissful. now you are not so. what has interposed between that bliss and this non-bliss? it is the ego. seek its source and find you are bliss.

The word ‘holiday’ comes from ‘holy day’ and holy means ‘exalted and worthy of complete devotion.’ by that definition, all days are holy. life is holy. atheists have joy every day of the year, every holy day. we have the wonder and glory of life. we have joy in the world before the lord is come. we’re not going for the promise of life after death; we’re celebrating life before death…for atheists, everything in the world is enough and every day is holy. every day is an atheist holiday. it’s a day that we’re alive.
Atheist Holiday Mean
I thought the most beautiful thing in the world must be shadow, the million moving shapes and cul-de-sacs of shadow. there was shadow in bureau drawers and closets and suitcases, and shadow under houses and trees and stones, and shadow at the back of people's eyes and smiles, and shadow, miles and miles and miles of it, on the night side of the earth.

There was a man that hated his footprints and his shadow, so one day he thought that if he ran fast enough, his footprints and shadow would not be able to follow him and then he never ever had to look at them again. he ran and he ran as fast as he could, but the shadow and the footprints had no problems keeping up to him. and he ran even faster and all of a sudden he fell dead to the ground. but if he been standing still there hadn't been any footprints and if he had been resting under a tree his shadow had been swallowed of the trees shadow.

There is a difference between the holy ghost and the gift of the holy ghost. cornelius received the holy ghost before he was baptized, which was the convincing power of god unto him of the truth of the gospel, but he could not receive the gift of the holy ghost until after he was baptized. had he not [been baptized], the holy ghost which convinced him of the truth of god, would have left him.

There were lots of lies along the way in life. lies without arms, lies that were ill, lies that did harm, lies that could kill. lies on foot, or behind the wheel, black-tie lies, and lies that could steal.

The discrimination between good and evil is in man's soul. every man can judge that for himself, because in every man is the sense of admiration of beauty. happiness only lies in thinking or doing that which one considers beautiful. such an act becomes a virtue or goodness.

Normal children often pass through stages of passionate cruelty, laziness, lying and thievery.

The task of the educator lies in seeing that the child does not confound good with immobility, and evil with activity, as often happens in old-time discipline . . . a room in which all the children move about usefully, intelligently, and voluntarily, without committing any rough or rude act, would seem to me a classroom very well disciplined indeed.
