C. S. Lewis
You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.
C. S. Lewis
In silence and in meditation on the eternal truths, I hear the voice of God which excites our hearts to greater love.
C. S. Lewis
Be sure that the ins and outs of your individuality are no mystery to Him and one day they will no longer be a mystery to you.
C. S. Lewis
Child, to say the very thing you really mean, the whole of it, nothing more or less or other than what you really mean that's the whole art and joy of words.
C. S. Lewis
And He [God] and you are two things of such a kind that if you really get into any kind of touch with Him you will, in fact, be humble--delightedly humble, feeling the infinite relief of having for once got rid of all the silly nonsense about your own dignity which has made you restless and unhappy all your life.
C. S. Lewis
