If my house has collapsed at one blow, that is because it was a house of cards. The faith which 'took these things into account' was not faith but imagination.
C. S. Lewis
Image
There ought to be things we should like to do and cannot do because our charitable expenditures excludes them.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
Image
I have often repented of speech but hardly ever of silence.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Watchin' and listenin' is the thing at present not talking.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Above all else , the devil can not stand to be mocked.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward.
C. S. Lewis
Image
It is by human avarice or human stupidity, not by the churlishness of nature, that we have poverty and overwork.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The very lack of evidence is thus treated as evidence the absence of smoke proves that the fire is very carefully hidden...A belief in invisible cats cannot be logically disproved although it does tell us a good deal about those who hold it.

Love is unselfishly choosing for another's highest good.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Spiteful words can hurt your feelings but silence breaks your heart.
