Selfishness has never been admired.
C. S. Lewis
Life isn't all fricasseed frogs and eel pie.
C. S. Lewis
Daughter, I have now lived a hundred and nine winters in this world and have never yet met any such thing as Luck. There is something about all this that I do not understand: but if ever we need to know it, you may be sure that we shall.
C. S. Lewis
I sometimes pray not for self-knowledge in general but for just so much self knowledge at the moment as I can bear and use at the moment the little daily dose.
C. S. Lewis
Redeemed humanity is still young, it has hardly come to its full strength. But already there is joy enough in the little finger of a great saint such as yonder lady to waken all the dead things of the universe into life.
C. S. Lewis
Giant Wimbleweather burst into one of those not very intelligent laughs to which the nicer sort of Giants are so liable. He checked himself at once and looked as grace as a turnip by the time Reepicheep discovered where the noise came from.
C. S. Lewis
The value of the individual does not lie in him. He receives it by union with Christ.
C. S. Lewis
To be religious is to have one's attention fixed on God and on one's neighbour in relation to God.
C. S. Lewis
God is the food our spirits were designed to feed on.
C. S. Lewis
The very first tear he made was so deep that I thought it had gone right into my heart.
C. S. Lewis
I have swallowed up girls and boys, women and men, kings and emperors, cities and realms, said the Lion. It didn't say this as if it were boasting, nor as if it were sorry, nor as if it were angry. It just said it.
C. S. Lewis
As Venus within Eros does not really aim at pleasure, so Eros does not aim at happiness. We may think he does, but when he is brought to the test it proves otherwise... For it is the very mark of Eros that when he is in us we had rather share unhappiness with the Beloved than be happy on any other terms.
C. S. Lewis
If you simply try to tell the truth you will, nine times out of ten, be original without ever having noticed it.
C. S. Lewis
There is nothing indulgent about the Moral Law. It is as hard as nails. It tells you to do the straight thing and it does not seem to care how painful, or dangerous, or difficult it is to do.
C. S. Lewis
There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way.'
C. S. Lewis
With the possible exception of the equator, everything begins somewhere.
C. S. Lewis
The only moral that is of any value is that which arises inevitably from the whole cast of the author's mind.
C. S. Lewis
If we ignore it the truth that God is love may slyly come to mean for us the converse, that love is God.
C. S. Lewis
We must beware of the Past, mustn't we? I mean that any fixing of the mind on old evils beyond what is absolutely necessary for repenting our own sins and forgiving those of others is certainly useless and usually bad for us. Notice in Dante that the lost souls are entirely concerned with their past! Not so the saved.
C. S. Lewis
It is a very funny thing that the sleepier you are, the longer you take about getting to bed.
C. S. Lewis
