More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Christian theology can fit in science, art, morality, and the sub-Christian religious. The scientific point of view cannot fit any of these things, not even science itself.
C. S. Lewis
In our own case we accept excuses too easily in other people's, we do not accept them easily enough.
C. S. Lewis
A woman means by Unselfishness chiefly taking trouble for others a man means not giving trouble to others...thus, while the woman thinks of doing good offices and the man of respecting other people's rights, each sex, without any obvious unreason, can and does regard the other as radically selfish.
C. S. Lewis
Disobedience to conscience makes conscience blind.
C. S. Lewis
Odd, the way the less the Bible is read the more it is translated
C. S. Lewis
I read in a periodical the other day that the fundamental thing is how we think of God. By God Himself, it is not! How God thinks of us is not only more important, but infinitely more important.
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
We have to be continually reminded of what we believe.
C. S. Lewis
When Christ died, He died for you individually just as much as if you had been the only person in the world.
C. S. Lewis
and the whole forest would give itself up to jollification for weeks on end.
C. S. Lewis
It is only our bad temper that we put down to being tired or worried or hungry we put our good temper down to ourselves.
C. S. Lewis
Tribulations cannot cease until God either sees us remade or sees that our remaking is now hopeless.
C. S. Lewis
Please will you do my job for me.
C. S. Lewis
If people knew how much ill-feeling unselfishness occasions, it would not be so often recommended from the pulpit.
C. S. Lewis
It now seemed to me that all my other guesses had been only self-pleasing dreams spun out of my wishes, but now I was awake.
C. S. Lewis
Badness cannot succeed even in being bad in the same way in which goodness is good. Goodness is, so to speak, itself: badness is only spoiled goodness. Evil is a parasite, not an original thing.
C. S. Lewis
To love is to be vulnerable.
C. S. Lewis
Joy is never in our power and pleasure often is
C. S. Lewis
Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.
C. S. Lewis
We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us.
C. S. Lewis
