More quotes by C. S. Lewis
It is only when you are asked to believe in Reason coming from non-reason that you must cry Halt. Human minds. They do not come from nowhere.
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
But as long as you know you're nobody special, you'll be a very decent sort of Horse, on the whole, and taking one thing with another.
C. S. Lewis
The instrument through which you see God is your whole self. And if a man's self is not kept clean and bright, his glimpse of God will be blurred
C. S. Lewis
If you want to get warm you must stand near the fire: if you want to be wet you must get into the water. If you want joy, power, peace, eternal life, you must get close to, or even into, the thing that has them. They are not a sort of prize which God could, if He chose, just hand out to anyone.
C. S. Lewis
If my house has collapsed at one blow, that is because it was a house of cards. The faith which 'took these things into account' was not faith but imagination.
C. S. Lewis
Any amount of theology can now be smuggled into people's minds under the cover of fiction without their knowing it.
C. S. Lewis
What we want is not more little books about Christianity, but more little books by Christians on other subjects--with their Christianity latent.
C. S. Lewis
Who will take medicine unless he knows he is in the grip of disease?
C. S. Lewis
...the sun looks down on nothing half so good as a household laughing together over a meal, or two friends talking over a pint of beer, or a man alone reading a book that interests him... - C.S. Lewis: Weight of Glory
C. S. Lewis
This world is a great sculptor's shop. We are the statues and there is a rumor going round the shop that some of us are some day going to come to life.
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
When they have really learned to love their neighbours as themselves, they will be allowed to love themselves as their neighbours.
C. S. Lewis
Friendship is the greatest of worldly goods. Certainly to me it is the chief happiness of life. If I had to give a piece of advice to a young man about a place to live, I think I should say, 'sacrifice almost everything to live where you can be near your friends.'
C. S. Lewis
Do not waste time bothering whether you love your neighbor act as if you did.
C. S. Lewis
Above all else , the devil can not stand to be mocked.
C. S. Lewis
Narnia! It's all in the wardrobe just like I told you!
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
Peter did not feel very brave indeed, he felt he was going to be sick. But that made no difference to what he had to do.
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
