More quotes by C. S. Lewis
There is someone that I love even though I don't approve of what he does. There is someone I accept though some of his thoughts and actions revolt me. There is someone I forgive though he hurts the people I love the most. That person is......me.
C. S. Lewis
We want to know not how we should pray if we were perfect but how we should pray being as we now are ... It is no use to ask God with factitious earnestness for A when our whole mind is in reality filled with the desire for B. We must lay before Him what is in us, not what ought to be in us.
C. S. Lewis
Welcome, Prince, said Aslan. Do you feel yourself sufficient to take up the Kingship of Narnia? I - I don't think I do, Sir, said Caspian. I'm only a kid. Good, said Aslan. If you had felt yourself sufficient, it would have been a proof that you were not.
C. S. Lewis
Humility, after the first shock, is cheerful virtue.
C. S. Lewis
[Something] does not rise to the dignity of error.
C. S. Lewis
Human culture has always had to exist under the shadow of something infinitely more important than itself. If men had postponed the search for knowledge and beauty until they were secure, the search would never have begun.
C. S. Lewis
Even I never dreamed of Magic like this!
C. S. Lewis
You can't lay down any pattern for God. There are many different ways of bringing people into his Kingdom, even some ways that I specially dislike! I have therefore learned to be cautious in my judgment.
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
Whenever we find that our religious life is making us feel that we are good - above all, that we are better than someone else - I think we may be sure that we are being acted on, not by God, but by the devil.
C. S. Lewis
Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less.
C. S. Lewis
Every poet and musician and artist, but for grace>Grace, is drawn away from love of the thing he tells to love of the telling till, down in Deep Hell, they cannot be interested in God at all but only in what they say about Him.
C. S. Lewis
If God is Love, He is, by definition, something more than mere kindness. And it appears, from all the records, that though He has often rebuked us and condemned us, He has never regarded us with contempt. He has paid us the intolerable compliment of loving us, in the deepest, most tragic, most inexorable sense.
C. S. Lewis
Because we love something else more than this world, we love even this world more than those who know no other.
C. S. Lewis
If you are really a product of a materialistic universe, how is it that you don't feel at home there?
C. S. Lewis
Giving to the poor is an essential part of Christian morality.
C. S. Lewis
We might think that God wanted simply obedience to a set of rules: whereas He really wants people of a particular sort.
C. S. Lewis
Christ did not die for man because they were intrinsically worth dying for, but because he is intrinsically love, and therefore loves infinitely.
C. S. Lewis
Looking for God-or Heaven-by exploring space is like reading or seeing all Shakespeare's plays in the hope that you will find Shakespeare as one of the characters.
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
