More quotes by C. S. Lewis
The promise, made when I am in love, to be true to the beloved as long as I live, commits me to being true even if I cease to be in love.
C. S. Lewis
The next moment is as much beyond our grasp, and as much in God's care, as that a hundred years away. Care for the next minute is as foolish as care for a day in the next thousand years. In neither can we do anything, in both God is doing everything.
C. S. Lewis
The continual looking forward to the eternal world is not a form of escapism or wishful thinking, but one of the things a Christian is meant to do.
C. S. Lewis
Each generation exercises power over its successors: and each, in so far as it modifies the environment bequeathed to it and rebels against tradition, resists and limits the power of its predecessors.
C. S. Lewis
The story does what no theorem can quite do. It may not be like real life in the superficial sense: but it sets before us an image of what reality may well be like at some more central region.
C. S. Lewis
I need Christ, not something that resembles Him.
C. S. Lewis
Gratitude looks to the Past and love to the Present fear, avarice, lust, and ambition look ahead.
C. S. Lewis
So that the one road for which we now need God's leadership most of all is a road God, in His own nature, has never walked. But suppose God became a man... He could surrender His will, suffer and die, because He was a man.
C. S. Lewis
And how could we endure to live and let time pass if we were always crying for one day or one year to come back--if we did not know that every day in a life fills the whole life with expectation and memory and that these are that day?
C. S. Lewis
Nature does not teach. A true philosophy may sometimes validate an experience of nature an experience of nature cannot validate a philosophy. Nature will not verify any theological or metaphysical proposition (or not in the manner we are now considering) she will help to show what it means.
C. S. Lewis
God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks to us in our conscience, but shouts in our pains.
C. S. Lewis
When Christ died, He died for you individually just as much as if you had been the only person in the world.
C. S. Lewis
When golden moments come, when God enables one really to pray without words, who but a fool would reject the gift?
C. S. Lewis
First, I do not sit down at my desk to put into verse something that is already clear in my mind. If it were clear in my mind, I should have no incentive or need to write about it. We do not write in order to be understood we write in order to understand.
C. S. Lewis
The proper aim of giving is to put the recipient in a state where he no longer needs our gift.
C. S. Lewis
Once you become aware that the main business that you are here for is to know God, most of life's problems fall into place of their own accord. J.I. Packer Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you will get neither.
C. S. Lewis
The distinction between pretending you are better than you are and beginning to be better in reality is finer than moral sleuth hounds conceive.
C. S. Lewis
No good work is done anywhere without aid from the Father of Lights.
C. S. Lewis
I think we all sin by needlessly disobeying the apostolic injunction to rejoice as much as by anything else
C. S. Lewis
I was with book, as a woman is with child.
C. S. Lewis
