More quotes by C. S. Lewis
God has infinite attention to spare for each one of us.
C. S. Lewis
I am often, I believe, praying for others when I should be doing things for them. It's so much easier to pray for a bore than to go and see him.
C. S. Lewis
We are...a Divine work of art, something that God is making...something with which He will not be satisfied until it has a certain character.
C. S. Lewis
Many things, such as loving, going to sleep, or behaving unaffectedly - are done worst when we try hardest to do them.
C. S. Lewis
Those who do not think about their own sins make up for it by thinking incessantly about the sins of others.
C. S. Lewis
The devil loves 'curing' a small fault by giving you a great one.
C. S. Lewis
In Charn [Jadis] had taken no notice of Polly (till the very end) because Digory was the one she wanted to make use of. Now that she had Uncle Andrew, she took no notice of Digory. I expect most witches are like that. They are not interested in things or people unless they can use them they are terribly practical.
C. S. Lewis
Prosperity knits a man to the world. He feels that he is finding his place in it, while really it is finding its place in him.
C. S. Lewis
Even in this world of course it is the stupidest children who are most childish and the stupidest grown-ups who are most grown-up.
C. S. Lewis
It is easy to acknowledge, but almost impossible to realize for long, that we are mirrors whose brightness, if we are bright, is wholly derived from the sun that shines upon us.
C. S. Lewis
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
The stamp of the Saint is that he can waive his own rights and obey the Lord Jesus.
C. S. Lewis
The next best thing to being wise oneself is to live in a circle of those who are.
C. S. Lewis
A man who has been in another world does not come back unchanged. One can't put the difference into words. When the man is a friend it may become painful: the old footing is not easy to recover.
C. S. Lewis
To have Faith in Christ means, of course, trying to do all that He says. There would be no sense in saying you trusted a person if you would not take his advice.
C. S. Lewis
Nothing can seem extraordinary until you have discovered what is ordinary.
C. S. Lewis
It's always winter but it's never Christmas.
C. S. Lewis
We all agree that forgiveness is a beautiful idea until we have to practice it.
C. S. Lewis
What the soul cries out for is the resurrection of the senses. Even in this life, matter would be nothing to us if it were not the source of sensations.
C. S. Lewis
The real test of being in the presence of God is, that you either forget about yourself altogether or see yourself as a small, dirty object.
C. S. Lewis
