More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Giving to the poor is an essential part of Christian morality.
C. S. Lewis
When they have really learned to love their neighbours as themselves, they will be allowed to love themselves as their neighbours.
C. S. Lewis
Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.
C. S. Lewis
We treat our dogs as if they were almost human: that is why they really become almost human in the end.
C. S. Lewis
If, as I can't help suspecting, the dead also feel the pains of separation (and this may be one of their purgatorial sufferings), then for both lovers, and for all pairs of lovers without exception, bereavement is a universal and integral part of our experience of love.
C. S. Lewis
When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.
C. S. Lewis
Remember He is the artist and you are only the picture. You can't see it. So quietly submit to be painted---i.e., keep fulfilling all the obvious duties of your station (you really know quite well enough what they are!), asking forgiveness for each failure and then leaving it alone.You are in the right way. Walk---don't keep on looking at it.
C. S. Lewis
Here. All of you. And you, doorkeeper. No one is to be let out of the house today. And anyone I catch talking about this young lady will be first beaten to death and then burned alive and after that be kept on bread and water for six weeks. There.
C. S. Lewis
I believe, to be sure, that any man who reaches Heaven will find that what he abandoned (even in plucking out his right eye) has not been lost: that the kernel of what he was really seeking even in his most depraved wishes will be there, beyond expectation, waiting for him in 'the High Countries'.
C. S. Lewis
Joy is never in our power and pleasure often is
C. S. Lewis
Evil comes from the ABUSE of free will
C. S. Lewis
Chastity is the most unpopular of the Christian virtues. There is no getting away from it the old Christian rule is, Either marriage, with completely faithfulness to your partner, or else total abstinence.
C. S. Lewis
And I say also this. I do not think the forest would be so bright, nor the water so warm, nor love so sweet, if there were no danger in the lakes.
C. S. Lewis
Ink is the great cure for all human ills.
C. S. Lewis
Many things, such as loving, going to sleep, or behaving unaffectedly - are done worst when we try hardest to do them.
C. S. Lewis
There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal.
C. S. Lewis
But no one except Lucy knew that as it circled the mast it had whispered to her, Courage, dear heart, and the voice, she felt sure, was Aslan's, and with the voice a delicious smell breathed in her face.
C. S. Lewis
It is better to forget about yourself altogether.
C. S. Lewis
We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst.
C. S. Lewis
If you think you are not conceited, it means you are very conceited indeed.
C. S. Lewis
