The great thing is to be found at one's post as a child of God, living each day as though it were our last, but planning as though the world might last a hundred years.

More quotes by C. S. Lewis
As for all I can tell, the only difference is that what many see we call a real thing, and what only one sees we call a dream.
C. S. Lewis
The process of growing up is to be valued for what we gain, not for what we lose.
C. S. Lewis
No good poem, however confessional it may be, is just a self-expression. Who on earth would claim that the pearl expresses the oyster?
C. S. Lewis
Reality, looked at steadily, is unbearable.
C. S. Lewis
Spying on people by magic is the same as spying on them in any other way.
C. S. Lewis
We have had enough, once and for all, of Hedonism--the gloomy philosophy which says that Pleasure is the only good.
C. S. Lewis
Here. All of you. And you, doorkeeper. No one is to be let out of the house today. And anyone I catch talking about this young lady will be first beaten to death and then burned alive and after that be kept on bread and water for six weeks. There.
C. S. Lewis
Nothing in Man is either worse or better for being shared with the beasts.
C. S. Lewis
The heart never takes the place of the head: but it can, and should, obey it.
C. S. Lewis
Whether we like it or not, God intends to give us what we need, not what we now think we want
C. S. Lewis
The Christian has a great advantage over other men, not by being less fallen than they, nor less doomed to live in a fallen world, but by knowing that he is a fallen man in a fallen world.
C. S. Lewis
God is the food our spirits were designed to feed on.
C. S. Lewis
This is my password, said the King as he drew his sword. The light is dawning, the lie broken. Now guard thee, miscreant, for I am Tirian of Narnia.
C. S. Lewis
The more lucidly we think, the more we are cut off: the more deeply we enter into reality, the less we can think.
C. S. Lewis
The 'frankness' of people sunk below shame is a very cheap frankness.
C. S. Lewis
You come of the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve, said Aslan. And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth. Be content.
C. S. Lewis
The human mind is generally far more eager to praise or dispraise than it is to describe and define.
C. S. Lewis
A promise must be about actions: no one can promise to go on feeling a certain way.
C. S. Lewis
We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us.
C. S. Lewis
The road to the promised land runs past Sinai. The moral law may exist to be transcended: but there is no transcending it for those who have not first admitted its claims up on them, and then tried with all their strength to meet that claim, and fairly and squarely faced the fact of their failure.
C. S. Lewis
