More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Imagine yourself as a living house.
C. S. Lewis
Something deep in the human heart breaks at the thought of a life of mediocrity.
C. S. Lewis
Perhaps your own reiterated cries deafen you to the voice you hoped to hear
C. S. Lewis
And yet all loneliness, angers, hatreds, envies, and itchings that it contains, if rolled into one single experience and put into the scale against the least moment of the joy that is felt by the least in Heaven, would have no weight that could be registered at all. Bad cannot succeed even in being bad as truly as good is good.
C. S. Lewis
Redeemed humanity is still young, it has hardly come to its full strength. But already there is joy enough in the little finger of a great saint such as yonder lady to waken all the dead things of the universe into life.
C. S. Lewis
In reading Chesterton, as in reading MacDonald, I did not know what I was letting myself in for. A young man who wishes to remain a sound Atheist cannot be too careful of his reading. There are traps everywhere — Bibles laid open, millions of surprises, as Herbert says, fine nets and stratagems. God is, if I may say it, very unscrupulous.
C. S. Lewis
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
The truth is, of course, that what one regards as interruptions are precisely one's life.
C. S. Lewis
As long as he doesn't convert it into action, it does not matter how much a man thinks about his repentance.
C. S. Lewis
Who can endure a doctrine which would allow only dentists to say whether our teeth were aching, only cobblers to say whether our shoes hurt us, and only governments to tell us whether we were being well governed?
C. S. Lewis
At a well in a yard they met a man who was beating a boy. The stick burst into a flower in the mans hand. He tried to drop it, but it stuck to his hand. His arm became a branch, his body the trunk of a tree, his feet took root.
C. S. Lewis
A noble hunger, long unsatisfied, met at last its proper food.
C. S. Lewis
You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.
C. S. Lewis
That fierce imprisonment in the self is but the obverse of the self-giving which is absolute reality.
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
Music. A meaningless acceleration in the rhythm of celestial experience.
C. S. Lewis
Almost certainly God is not in time. His life does not consist of moments one following another...Ten-thirty-- and every other moment from the beginning of the world--is always Present for Him. If you like to put it this way, He has all eternity in which to listen to the split second of prayer put up by a pilot as his plane crashes in flames.
C. S. Lewis
You never know what you can do until you try, and very few try unless they have to.
C. S. Lewis
The universe rings true whenever you fairly test it.
C. S. Lewis
A promise must be about actions: no one can promise to go on feeling a certain way.
C. S. Lewis
