More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Nothing in Man is either worse or better for being shared with the beasts.
C. S. Lewis
The command Be ye prfect is not idealistic gas. Nor is it a command to do the impossible. He said (in the Bible) that we were gods and he is going to make good his words. He will make us into a god or goddess, a dazzling, radiant, immortal creature...a bright stainless mirror which reflects back to God perfectly.
C. S. Lewis
we follow One who stood and wept at the grave of Lazarus-not surely, because He was grieved that Mary and Martha wept, and sorrowed for their lack of faith (though some thus interpret) but because death, the punishment of sin, is even more horrible in his eyes than in ours.
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
In Science we have been reading only the notes to a poem in Christianity we find the poem itself.
C. S. Lewis
If you live for the next world, you get this one in the deal but if you live only for this world, you lose them both.
C. S. Lewis
Very few modern people think Friendship a love of comparable value or even a love at all.
C. S. Lewis
We must lay before him what is in us not what ought to be in us.
C. S. Lewis
Some journeys take us far from home. Some adventures lead us to our destiny.
C. S. Lewis
It is better to forget about yourself altogether.
C. S. Lewis
When golden moments come, when God enables one really to pray without words, who but a fool would reject the gift?
C. S. Lewis
God is the food our spirits were designed to feed on.
C. S. Lewis
Here. All of you. And you, doorkeeper. No one is to be let out of the house today. And anyone I catch talking about this young lady will be first beaten to death and then burned alive and after that be kept on bread and water for six weeks. There.
C. S. Lewis
Much is expected from those to whom much is given.
C. S. Lewis
Some people talk as if meeting the gaze of absolute goodness would be fun. They need to think again.
C. S. Lewis
Nothing is really ours until we share it.
C. S. Lewis
If crime and disease are to be regarded as the same thing, it follows that any state of mind which our masters choose to call 'disease' can be treated as a crime and compulsorily cured.
C. S. Lewis
I suggest to you that it is because God loves us that he gives us the gift of suffering. Pain is God's megaphone to rouse a deaf world. You see, we are like blocks of stone out of which the Sculptor carves the forms of men. The blows of his chisel, which hurt us so much are what make us perfect.
C. S. Lewis
Unless thought is valid we have no reason to believe in the real universe.
C. S. Lewis
The sane would do no good if they made themselves mad to help madmen.
C. S. Lewis
