Image
Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man.
C. S. Lewis
Image
A man is never so proud as when striking an attitude of humility.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Very often what God first helps us towards is not the virtue itself but just this power of always trying again.
C. S. Lewis
Image
When things go wrong, you'll find they usually go on getting worse for some time but when things once start going right they often go on getting better and better.
C. S. Lewis
Image
But probably every age gets, within certain limits, the science it deserves.
C. S. Lewis
Image

Reality, looked at steadily, is unbearable.
C. S. Lewis
Image
We are all fallen creatures and all very hard to live with.

C. S. Lewis
Image
The change which the writing wrought in me (and of which I did not write) was only a beginning only to prepare me for the gods' surgery. They used my own pen to probe my wound.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Kindness consents very readily to the removal of its object – we have all met people whose kindness to animals is constantly leading them to kill animals lest they should suffer. Kindness, merely as such, cares not whether its object becomes good or bad, provided only that it escapes suffering.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Education is only the most fully conscious of the channels whereby each generation influences the next.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Whatever you do, He will make good of it. But not the good He had prepared for you if you had obeyed him.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The next moment is as much beyond our grasp, and as much in God's care, as that a hundred years away. Care for the next minute is as foolish as care for a day in the next thousand years. In neither can we do anything, in both God is doing everything.
C. S. Lewis
Image
To love you as I should, I must worship God as Creator.
C. S. Lewis
Image
you had nothing to say about it and yet made the nothing up into words.
