More quotes by C. S. Lewis
In God there is no hunger that needs to be filled, only plenteousness that desires to give.
C. S. Lewis
We have a strange illusion that mere time cancels sin.
C. S. Lewis
Everything except God has some natural superior everything except unformed matter has some natural inferior.
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
I have come, said a deep voice behind them. They turned and saw the Lion himself, so bright and real and strong that everything else began at once to look pale and shadowy compared with him.
C. S. Lewis
Father! Can I box him? Please!
C. S. Lewis
God made us: invented us as a man invents an engine. A car is made to run on petrol, and it would not run properly on anything else. Now God designed the human machine to run on Himself.
C. S. Lewis
For He (God) seems to do nothing of himself which He can possibly delegate to His creatures.
C. S. Lewis
We only learn to behave ourselves in the presence of God.
C. S. Lewis
The prayer preceding all prayers is 'May it be the real I who speaks. May it be the real Thou that I speak to.'
C. S. Lewis
You all know, said the Guide, that security is mortals' greatest enemy.
C. S. Lewis
Precisely because we cannot predict the moment, we must be ready at all moments.
C. S. Lewis
For prayer is request. The essence of request, as distinct from compulsion, is that it may or may not be granted.
C. S. Lewis
Could one start a Stagnation Party-which at General Elections would boast that during its term of office no event of the least importance had taken place?
C. S. Lewis
If and when a horror turns up you will then be given Grace to help you. I don't think one is usually given it in advance. Give us our daily bread (not an annuity for life) applies to spiritual gifts too the little daily support for the daily trial. Life has to be taken day by day and hour by hour.
C. S. Lewis
At present we are on the outside of the world, the wrong side of the door. We discern the freshness and purity of morning, but they do not make us fresh and pure. We cannot mingle with the splendours we see. But all the leaves of the New Testament are rustling with the rumour that it will not always be so. Some day, God willing, we shall get in.
C. S. Lewis
Be confident small immortals. You are not the only voice that all things utter, nor is there eternal silence in the places where you cannot come.
C. S. Lewis
We must lay before him what is in us not what ought to be in us.
C. S. Lewis
Holy places are dark places. It is life and strength, not knowledge and words, that we get in them. Holy wisdom is not clear and thin like water, but thick and dark like blood.
C. S. Lewis
Hell begins with a grumbling mood, always complaining, always blaming others.
C. S. Lewis
