C. S. Lewis
Lucy looked and saw that Aslan had just breathed on the feet of the stone giant. It's all right! shouted Aslan joyously. Once The feet are put right, all the rest of him will follow.
C. S. Lewis
God is not merely good, but goodness goodness is not merely divine, but God.
C. S. Lewis
Do I think well of myself, think myself a nice chap? WEll, I am afraid I sometimes do (and those are, no doubt, my worst moments).
C. S. Lewis
Each time you fall He'll pick you up. He knows your own efforts are never going to bring you anywhere near perfection
C. S. Lewis
Giving to the poor is an essential part of Christian morality.
C. S. Lewis
The happiness which God designs for His higher creatures is the happiness of being freely, voluntarily united to Him and to each other in an ecstasy of love and delight compared with which the most rapturous love between a man and a woman on this earth is mere milk and water. And for that they must be free.
C. S. Lewis
Agnostics talk cheerfully of man's search for God but they might as well talk about the mouse's search for the cat.
C. S. Lewis
That fierce imprisonment in the self is but the obverse of the self-giving which is absolute reality.
C. S. Lewis
Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.
C. S. Lewis
Tea should be taken in solitude.
C. S. Lewis
We must picture Hell as a state where everyone is perpetually concerned about his own dignity and advancement, where everyone has a grievance, and where everyone lives the deadly serious passions of envy, self-importance, and resentment.
C. S. Lewis
I believe Buddhism to be a simplification of Hinduism and Islam to be a simplification of Xianity.
C. S. Lewis
We have to be continually reminded of what we believe.
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 God had granted all the silly prayers I've made in my life, where should I be now?
C. S. Lewis
Joy is never in our power and pleasure often is
C. S. Lewis
We are all fallen creatures and all very hard to live with.
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 you go to church you are really listening-in to the secret wireless from out friends: that is why the enemy is so anxious to prevent us from going. He does it by playing on our conceit and laziness and intellectual snobbery.
C. S. Lewis
