More quotes by C. S. Lewis

Image
We were promised sufferings. They were part of the program. We were even told, 'Blessed are they that mourn,' and I accept it. I've got nothing that I hadn't bargained for. Of course it is different when the thing happens to oneself, not to others, and in reality, not imagination.
C. S. Lewis
Image
God will look to every soul like its first love because He is its first love.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Friendship is the greatest of worldly goods. Certainly to me it is the chief happiness of life. If I had to give a piece of advice to a young man about a place to live, I think I should say, 'sacrifice almost everything to live where you can be near your friends.'
C. S. Lewis
Image
When things go wrong, you'll find they usually go on getting worse for some time but when things once start going right they often go on getting better and better.
C. S. Lewis

Friendship is...the sort of love one can imagine between angels.
C. S. Lewis
Image
If you ask why we should obey God, in the last resort the answer is, 'I am.' To know God is to know that our obedience is due to Him.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Precisely because we cannot predict the moment, we must be ready at all moments.
C. S. Lewis
Image
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
Image
Lucy went first, biting her lip and trying not to say all the things she thought of saying to Susan. But she forgot them when she fixed her eyes on Aslan.
C. S. Lewis
Image
It is because they have no Oyarsa,' said one of the pupils. It is because everyone of them wants to be a little Oyarsa himself,' said Augray.
C. S. Lewis
Image
We must lay before him what is in us not what ought to be in us.
C. S. Lewis
Image
When we lose one blessing, another is often most unexpectedly given in its place [if we anticipate and look for it, rather than wallow in our 'supposed loss'. It can be helpful to think of the loss of that blessing as simply necessary to make way for another different blessing].

Without the aid of trained emotions the intellect is powerless against the animal organism.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Be sure that the ins and outs of your individuality are no mystery to Him and one day they will no longer be a mystery to you.

Now God, who has made us, knows what we are and that our happiness lies in Him.
