More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Child, that is why all the rest are now a horror to her. That is what happens to those who pluck and eat fruits at the wrong time and in the wrong way. Oh, the fruit is good, but they loath it ever after.
C. S. Lewis
In Science we have been reading only the notes to a poem in Christianity we find the poem itself.
C. S. Lewis
Where I come from, they don't think much of men who are bossed about by their wives.
C. S. Lewis
If a thing is free to be good it is also free to be bad. And free will is what has made evil possible. Why, then, did God give them free will? Because free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having.
C. S. Lewis
Bad art is never really enjoyed in the same sense in which good art is enjoyed. It is only liked: it never startles, prostrates, and takes captive.
C. S. Lewis
We long for more and God's promise is that there is more awaiting us. More to delight us than we will ever exhaust.
C. S. Lewis
If there's anyone who can appear before Aslan without their knees knocking, they're either braver than most, or else just silly.
C. S. Lewis
Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement.
C. S. Lewis
It is easy to acknowledge, but almost impossible to realize for long, that we are mirrors whose brightness, if we are bright, is wholly derived from the sun that shines upon us.
C. S. Lewis
We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst.
C. S. Lewis
We forgive, we mortify our resentment a week later some chain of thought carries us back to the original offence and we discover the old resentment blazing away as if nothing had been done about it at all. We need to forgive our brother seventy times seven not only for 490 offences but for one offence.
C. S. Lewis
Love is the great conqueror of lust.
C. S. Lewis
Human beings judge one another by their external actions. God judges them by their moral choices.
C. S. Lewis
Once in our world, a Stable had something in it that was bigger than our whole world.
C. S. Lewis
I am in love and out of it I will not go.
C. S. Lewis
The mark of Friendship is not that help will be given when the pinch comes (of course it will) but that, having been given, it makes no difference at all.
C. S. Lewis
If you ask why we should obey God, in the last resort the answer is, 'I am.' To know God is to know that our obedience is due to Him.
C. S. Lewis
To what will you look for help if you will not look to that which is stronger than yourself?
C. S. Lewis
We need not despair even in our worst, for our failures are forgiven. The only fatal thing is to sit down content with anything less than perfection.
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
