George MacDonald Quotes

I Should Like To Remark, For The Sake Of Princes And Princesses In General, That It Is A Low And Contemptible Thing To Refuse To Confess A Fault, Or Even An Error. If A True Princess Has Done Wrong, She Is Always Uneasy Until She Has Had An Opportunity Of Throwing The Wrongness Away From Her By Saying: 'I Did It; And I Wish I Had Not; And I Am Sorry For Having Done It.' So You See There Is Some Ground For Supposing That Curdie Was Not A Miner Only, But A Prince As Well. Many Such Instances Have Been Known In The World's History.
