More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Grief. The pain now is part of the happiness then. That's the deal.
C. S. Lewis
There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them. They themselves are equally pleased by both errors and hail a materialist or a magician with the same delight.
C. S. Lewis
Many thousands of people have had the experience of finding the first friend, and it is none the less a wonder as great a wonder (pace the novelists) as first love, or even greater.
C. S. Lewis
The safest road to hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.
C. S. Lewis
Imagine yourself as a living house.
C. S. Lewis
Do not waste time bothering whether you love your neighbor act as if you did.
C. S. Lewis
No mind is so good that it does not need another mind to counter and equal it, and to save it from conceit and bigotry and folly
C. S. Lewis
Father! Can I box him? Please!
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
Got to start by finding it, have we? Can't start by looking for it, I suppose?
C. S. Lewis
You do not fail in obedience through lack of love, but you have lost love because you never attempted obedience.
C. S. Lewis
I will not be at the mercy of the telephone!
C. S. Lewis
The full acting out of the self's surrender to God therefore demands pain: this action, to be perfect, must be done from the pure will to obey, in the absence, or in the teeth, of inclination
C. S. Lewis
No great wisdom can be reached without sacrifice.
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
The fundamental laws are in the long run merely statements that every event is itself and not some different event.
C. S. Lewis
As St. Paul points out, Christ never meant that we were to remain children in intelligence: on the contrary, He told us to be not only as harmless as doves, but also as wise as serpents. He wants a child's heart, but a grown-up's head.
C. S. Lewis
A Christian is not a man who never goes wrong, but a man who is enabled to repent.
C. S. Lewis
The castle of Cair Paravel on its little hill towered up above them before them were the sands, with rocks and little pools of salt water, and seaweed, and the smell of the sea and long miles of bluish-green waves breaking for ever and ever on the beach. And oh, the cry of the seagulls! Have you ever heard it? Can you remember?
C. S. Lewis
The proper aim of giving is to put the recipient in a state where he no longer needs our gift.
