Don't judge a man by where he is, because you don't know how far he has come.
C. S. Lewis
Things never happen the same way twice.
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
Above all, do not attempt to use science (I mean, the real sciences) as a defence against Christianity. They will positively encourage him to think about realities he can’t touch and see.
C. S. Lewis
Each new power won by man is a power over man as well. Each advance leaves him weaker as well as stronger.

C. S. Lewis
Very often the only way to get a quality in reality is to start behaving as if you had it already.
C. S. Lewis
Prosperity knits a man to the world. He feels that he is finding his place in it, while really it is finding its place in him.
C. S. Lewis
The birth of Christ is the central event in the history of the earth-- the very thing the whole story has been about.
C. S. Lewis
Free will, though it makes evil possible, also makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having.
C. S. Lewis
Love, having become a god, becomes a demon.
C. S. Lewis
Something deep in the human heart breaks at the thought of a life of mediocrity.
C. S. Lewis
All that is not eternal is eternally out of date.
C. S. Lewis
This wasn't a garden,' said Susan presently. 'It was a castle.
C. S. Lewis
If Christianity is only one more bit of good advice, then Christianity is of no importance.
C. S. Lewis
Meaningless combinations of words do not suddenly acquire meaning simply because we prefix to them the two other words ' God can'.
C. S. Lewis
That is what mortals misunderstand. They say of some temporal sufferring, No future bliss can make up for it not knowing that Heaven, once attained, will work backwards and turn even that agony into a glory.
C. S. Lewis
