More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Christianity thinks of human individuals not as mere members of a group or items in a list, but as organs in a body-different from one another and each contributing what no other could.
C. S. Lewis
The command Be ye prfect is not idealistic gas. Nor is it a command to do the impossible. He said (in the Bible) that we were gods and he is going to make good his words. He will make us into a god or goddess, a dazzling, radiant, immortal creature...a bright stainless mirror which reflects back to God perfectly.
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
We may note in passing that He (Jesus) was never regarded as a mere moral teacher. He did not produce that effect on any of the people who actually met Him. He produced mainly three effects - Hatred - Terror - Adoration. There was no trace of people expressing mild admiration.
C. S. Lewis
To have Faith in Christ means, of course, trying to do all that He says. There would be no sense in saying you trusted a person if you would not take his advice.
C. S. Lewis
When Christ died, He died for you individually just as much as if you had been the only person in the world.
C. S. Lewis
For the church is not a human society of people united by their natural affinities but the Body of Christ, in which all members, however different, (and He rejoices in their differences and by no means wishes to iron them out) must share the common life, complementing and helping one another precisely by their differences.
C. S. Lewis
This wasn't a garden,' said Susan presently. 'It was a castle.
C. S. Lewis
Because God created the Natural - invented it out of His love and artistry - it demands our reverence.
C. S. Lewis
You can’t get second things by putting them first. You get second things only by putting first things first.
C. S. Lewis
Prayer is request. The essence of request, as distinct from compulsion, is that it may or may not be granted. And if an infinitely wise Being listens to the requests of finite and foolish creatures, of course He will sometimes grant and sometimes refuse them.
C. S. Lewis
Aslan is a lion- the Lion, the great Lion. Ooh said Susan. I'd thought he was a man. Is he-quite safe? I shall feel rather nervous about meeting a lion...Safe? said Mr Beaver ...Who said anything about safe? 'Course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the King, I tell you.
C. S. Lewis
Pure, spiritual, intellectual love shot form their faces like barbedlightning. It was so unlike the love we experience that its expressioncould easily be mistaken for ferocity.
C. S. Lewis
You can begin as if nothing had ever gone wrong. White as snow.
C. S. Lewis
The humblest praise most, while cranks & malcontents praise least. Praise almost seems to be inner health made audible
C. S. Lewis
Imagine yourself as a living house.
C. S. Lewis
Fools! said the man, stamping his foot with rage. That is the sort of talk that brought me here, and I'd better have been drowned or never born. Do you hear what I say? This is where dreams — dreams, do you understand — come to life, come real. Not daydreams: dreams.
C. S. Lewis
How difficult it is to avoid having a special standard for oneself.
C. S. Lewis
I cannot understand how a man can appear in print claiming to disbelieve everything that he presupposes when he puts on the surplice. I feel it is a form of prostitution.
C. S. Lewis
If you think you are not conceited, it means you are very conceited indeed.
C. S. Lewis
