More quotes by C. S. Lewis
If and when a horror turns up you will then be given Grace to help you. I don't think one is usually given it in advance. Give us our daily bread (not an annuity for life) applies to spiritual gifts too the little daily support for the daily trial. Life has to be taken day by day and hour by hour.
C. S. Lewis
Every joy is beyond all others.
C. S. Lewis
It will not bother me in the hour of death to reflect that I have been had for a sucker by any number of imposters but it would be a torment to know that one had refused even one person in need.
C. S. Lewis
When Christ died, He died for you individually just as much as if you had been the only person in the world.
C. S. Lewis
He has room for people with very little sense, but He wants everyone to use what sense they have.
C. S. Lewis
The mark of Friendship is not that help will be given when the pinch comes (of course it will) but that, having been given, it makes no difference at all.
C. S. Lewis
The right direction leads not only to peace but to knowledge.
C. S. Lewis
I think that if God forgives us we must forgive ourselves. Otherwise, it is almost like setting up ourselves as a higher tribunal than Him.
C. S. Lewis
Friendship is...the sort of love one can imagine between angels.
C. S. Lewis
I'm a beast, I am, and a Badger what's more. We don't change. We hold on.
C. S. Lewis
We are finite and God will not call us everywhere or to support every worthy cause. And real needs are not far from us.
C. S. Lewis
The story does what no theorem can quite do. It may not be like real life in the superficial sense: but it sets before us an image of what reality may well be like at some more central region.
C. S. Lewis
This wasn't a garden,' said Susan presently. 'It was a castle.
C. S. Lewis
The sane would do no good if they made themselves mad to help madmen.
C. S. Lewis
Life isn't all fricasseed frogs and eel pie.
C. S. Lewis
Isn't it absolutely essential to keep a fierce Left and fierce Right, both on their toes and each terrified of the other? That's how we get things done.
C. S. Lewis
Faith, in the sense in which I am here using the word, is the art of holding on to things your reason has once accepted, in spite of your changing moods.
C. S. Lewis
It's like the sound of a chuckle in the darkness. The sense that some shattering and disarming simplicity is the real answer.
C. S. Lewis
Man was appointed by God to have dominion over the beasts, and everything a man does to an animal is either a lawful exercise or a sacrilegious abuse of an authority by divine right.
C. S. Lewis
Redeemed humanity is still young, it has hardly come to its full strength. But already there is joy enough in the little finger of a great saint such as yonder lady to waken all the dead things of the universe into life.
C. S. Lewis
