More quotes by C. S. Lewis
I now see that I spent most of my life in doing neither what I ought nor what I liked.
C. S. Lewis
To please God… to be a real ingredient in the divine happiness… to be loved by God, not merely pitied, but delighted in as an artist delights in his work or a father in a son- it seems impossible, a weight or burden of glory which our thoughts can hardly sustain. But so it is.
C. S. Lewis
Life is too deep for words, so don't try to describe it, just live it.
C. S. Lewis
A noble hunger, long unsatisfied, met at last its proper food.
C. S. Lewis
Aristotle said that some people were only fit to be slaves. I do not contradict him. But I reject slavery because I see no men fit to be masters.
C. S. Lewis
Heaven is reality itself. All that is fully real is Heavenly. For all that can be shaken will be shaken and only the unshakeable remains.
C. S. Lewis
And since we cannot deceive the whole human race all the time, it is most important thus to cut every generation off from all others for where learning makes a free commerce between the ages there is always the danger that the characteristic errors of one may be corrected by the characteristic truths of another.
C. S. Lewis
All get what they want they do not always like it.
C. S. Lewis
[Something] does not rise to the dignity of error.
C. S. Lewis
If there is equality it is in His love, not in us.
C. S. Lewis
You would not have called to me unless I had been calling to you, said the Lion.
C. S. Lewis
Some journeys take us far from home. Some adventures lead us to our destiny.
C. S. Lewis
If we let ourselves, we shall always be waiting for some distraction or other to end before we can really get down to our work. The only people who achieve much are those who want knowledge so badly that they seek it while the conditions are still unfavorable. Favorable conditions never come.
C. S. Lewis
The devil loves 'curing' a small fault by giving you a great one.
C. S. Lewis
I mean, the more a man was in the Devil's power, the less he would be aware of it, on the principle that a man is still fairly sober as long as he knows he's drunk.
C. S. Lewis
Everywhere, except in theology, there has been a vigorous growth of skepticism about skepticism itself.
C. S. Lewis
There is someone that I love even though I don't approve of what he does. There is someone I accept though some of his thoughts and actions revolt me. There is someone I forgive though he hurts the people I love the most. That person is......me.
C. S. Lewis
Democracy demands that little men should not take big ones too seriously it dies when it is full of little men who think they are big themselves.
C. S. Lewis
Do not dare not to dare.
C. S. Lewis
Nothing is more likely to destroy a species or a nation than a determination to survive at all costs
C. S. Lewis
