Good and evil both increase at compound interest.
C. S. Lewis
Your people eat dry and tasteless flesh but it is off plates as smooth as ivory and as round as the sun.
C. S. Lewis
As for wrinkles--Pshaw! Why shouldn't we have wrinkles? Honorable insignia of long service in this warfare.
C. S. Lewis
Evil comes from the ABUSE of free will
C. S. Lewis
Beauty is not democratic she reveals herself more to the few than to the many.
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
Very often what God first helps us towards is not the virtue itself but just this power of always trying again.
C. S. Lewis
No good work is done anywhere without aid from the Father of Lights.
C. S. Lewis
We all agree that forgiveness is a beautiful idea until we have to practice it.
C. S. Lewis
Your patient has become humble have you drawn his attention to the fact? All virtues are less formidable to us once the man is aware that he has them, but this is specially true of humility.
C. S. Lewis
We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst.
C. S. Lewis
One can regard the moral law as an illusion, and so cut himself off from the common ground of humanity.
C. S. Lewis
When you are behaving as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love them.
C. S. Lewis
Friendship is the greatest of worldly goods. Certainly to me it is the chief happiness of life.
C. S. Lewis
If you find that the reader of popular romances--however uneducated a reader, however bad the romances--goes back to his old favourites again and again, then you have pretty good evidence that they are to him a sort of poetry.
C. S. Lewis
To excuse what can really produce good excuses is not Christian charity it is only fairness. To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable in you.
C. S. Lewis
A spoiled saint, a Pharisee, an inquisitor, or a magician, makes better sport to Hell than a mere common tyrant or debauchee.
C. S. Lewis
A great many of those who 'debunk' traditional...values have in the background values of their own which they believe to be immune from the debunking process
C. S. Lewis
The Eternal Being, who knows everything and who created the whole universe, became not only a man but (before that) a baby, and before that a fetus in a woman's body.
C. S. Lewis
When we want to be something other than the thing that God wants us to be, we must be wanting what, in fact, will not make us happy...whether we like it or not, God intends to give us what we need, not what we now think we want. Once more, we are embarrassed by the intolerable compliment, by too much love, not too little.
