More quotes by C. S. Lewis
The devil loves 'curing' a small fault by giving you a great one.
C. S. Lewis
The Christian has a great advantage over other men, not by being less fallen than they, nor less doomed to live in a fallen world, but by knowing that he is a fallen man in a fallen world.
C. S. Lewis
You Too? I thought I was the only one.
C. S. Lewis
How could an idiotic universe have produced creatures whose mere dreams are so much stronger, better, subtler than itself?
C. S. Lewis
To make Christianity a private affair while banishing all privacy is to relegate it to the rainbow's end or the Greek Calends.
C. S. Lewis
Tea should be taken in solitude.
C. S. Lewis
It doesn't really matter whether you grip the arms of the dentist's chair or let your hands lie in your lap. The drill drills on.
C. S. Lewis
Selfishness has never been admired.
C. S. Lewis
A Christian is not a man who never goes wrong, but a man who is enabled to repent.
C. S. Lewis
The more pride we have, the more other people’s pride irritates us
C. S. Lewis
If these holy places, things, and days cease to remind us, if they obliterate our awareness that all ground is holy and every bush (could we but perceive it) a Burning Bush, then the hallows begin to do harm. Hence both the necessity, and the perennial danger, of 'religion.'
C. S. Lewis
Very often the only way to get a quality in reality is to start behaving as if you had it already.
C. S. Lewis
Your patient has become humble have you drawn his attention to the fact? All virtues are less formidable to us once the man is aware that he has them, but this is specially true of humility.
C. S. Lewis
This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there.
C. S. Lewis
It is hardly complimentary to God that we should choose him as an alternative to hell.
C. S. Lewis
Forgiveness does not mean excusing.
C. S. Lewis
Pride, on the other hand, is the mother of all sins, and the original sin of lucifer.... An instrument strung, but preferring to play itself because it thinks it knows the tune better than the Musician
C. S. Lewis
The sun looks down on nothing half so good as a household laughing together over a meal.
C. S. Lewis
I want God, not my idea of God.
C. S. Lewis
We may note in passing that He (Jesus) was never regarded as a mere moral teacher. He did not produce that effect on any of the people who actually met Him. He produced mainly three effects - Hatred - Terror - Adoration. There was no trace of people expressing mild admiration.
C. S. Lewis
