There is someone I accept even though I do not approve of all he does...and that someone is me
C. S. Lewis
Everyone who believes in God at all believes that he knows what you and I are going to do tomorrow.
C. S. Lewis
He has room for people with very little sense, but He wants everyone to use what sense they have.
C. S. Lewis
The longer we stay in Hell, the more we become attached to it.
C. S. Lewis
It will not bother me in the hour of death to reflect that I have been had for a sucker by any number of imposters but it would be a torment to know that one had refused even one person in need.
C. S. Lewis
Without sin, the universe is a Solemn Game: and there is no good game without rules.
C. S. Lewis
We may not be able to get certainty, but we can get probability, and half a loaf is better than no bread.
C. S. Lewis
Our temptation is to look eagerly for the minimum that will be accepted. We are in fact very like honest but reluctant taxpayers.
C. S. Lewis
Redeemed humanity is still young, it has hardly come to its full strength. But already there is joy enough in the little finger of a great saint such as yonder lady to waken all the dead things of the universe into life.
C. S. Lewis
A world of automata – of creatures that worked like machines – would hardly be worth creating.
C. S. Lewis
Those who have nothing can share nothing those who are going nowhere can have no fellow-travellers.
C. S. Lewis
Nothing that you have not given away will ever be really yours.
C. S. Lewis
I will not be at the mercy of the telephone!
C. S. Lewis
Almost certainly God is not in time. His life does not consist of moments one following another...Ten-thirty-- and every other moment from the beginning of the world--is always Present for Him. If you like to put it this way, He has all eternity in which to listen to the split second of prayer put up by a pilot as his plane crashes in flames.
C. S. Lewis
A pipe gives a wise man time to think and a fool something to stick in his mouth.
C. S. Lewis
Now the trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed.
C. S. Lewis
Pity was meant to be a spur that drives joy to help misery. But it can be used the wrong way round. It can be used for a kind of blackmailing. Those who choose misery can hold joy up to ransom, by pity.
C. S. Lewis
There is a kind of happiness and wonder that makes you serious. It is too good to waste on jokes.
C. S. Lewis
God will look to every soul like its first love because He is its first love.
C. S. Lewis
The higher animals are in a sense drawn into Man when he loves them and makes them (as he does) much more nearly human than they would otherwise be.
C. S. Lewis
