C. S. Lewis
God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.
C. S. Lewis
The next best thing to being wise oneself is to live in a circle of those who are.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
And there we all were, as invisible as you could wish to see.
C. S. Lewis
They tell me, Lord, that when I seem To be in speech with you. Since but one voice is heard, it
C. S. Lewis
Give up yourself, and you will find your real self. Lose your life and you will save it.
C. S. Lewis
and the whole forest would give itself up to jollification for weeks on end.
C. S. Lewis
We have had enough, once and for all, of Hedonism--the gloomy philosophy which says that Pleasure is the only good.
C. S. Lewis
I have swallowed up girls and boys, women and men, kings and emperors, cities and realms, said the Lion. It didn't say this as if it were boasting, nor as if it were sorry, nor as if it were angry. It just said it.
C. S. Lewis
We long for more and God's promise is that there is more awaiting us. More to delight us than we will ever exhaust.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
