More quotes by C. S. Lewis
I have discovered that the people who believe most strongly in the next life do the most good in the present one.
C. S. Lewis
Everywhere, except in theology, there has been a vigorous growth of skepticism about skepticism itself.
C. S. Lewis
Christianity asserts that every individual human being is going to live for ever, and this must be either true or false. Now there are a good many things which would not be worth bothering about if I were going to live only seventy years, but which I had better bother about very seriously if I am going to live for ever.
C. S. Lewis
Affection would not be affection if it was loudly and frequently expressed to produce it in public is like getting your household furniture out for a move. It did very well in its place, but it looks shabby or tawdry or grotesque in the sunshine.
C. S. Lewis
To live in a fully predictable world is not to be a man.
C. S. Lewis
What do people mean when they say, 'I am not afraid of God because I know He is good'? Have they never even been to a dentist?
C. S. Lewis
The central Christian belief is that Christ's death has somehow put us right with God and given us a fresh start.
C. S. Lewis
Child, that is why all the rest are now a horror to her. That is what happens to those who pluck and eat fruits at the wrong time and in the wrong way. Oh, the fruit is good, but they loath it ever after.
C. S. Lewis
The only palliative is to keep the clean sea breeze of the centuries blowing through our minds, and this can be done only by reading old books.
C. S. Lewis
In Science we have been reading only the notes to a poem in Christianity we find the poem itself.
C. S. Lewis
It is funny how mortals always picture us as putting things into their minds: in reality our best work is done by keeping things out.
C. S. Lewis
Keep clear of psychiatrists unless you know that they are also Christians. Otherwise they start with the assumption that your religion is an illusion and try to 'cure' it: and this assumption they make not as professional psychologists but as amateur philosophers.
C. S. Lewis
I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.
C. S. Lewis
Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement.
C. S. Lewis
The great thing to remember is that though our feelings come and go God's love for us does not.
C. S. Lewis
We must picture Hell as a state where everyone is perpetually concerned about his own dignity and advancement, where everyone has a grievance, and where everyone lives the deadly serious passions of envy, self-importance, and resentment.
C. S. Lewis
What flows into you from myth is not truth but reality (truth is always about something, but reality is that about which truth is), and therefore, every myth becomes the father of innumerable truths on the abstract level.
C. S. Lewis
'Useful,' and 'necessity' was always 'the tyrant's plea'.
C. S. Lewis
I have seen great beauty of spirit in some who were great sufferers. I have seen men, for the most part, grow better not worse with advancing years, and I have seen the last illness produce treasures of fortitude and meekness from most unpromising subjects.
C. S. Lewis
Father! Can I box him? Please!
C. S. Lewis
