More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Enemy-occupied territory---that is what this world is. Christianity is the story of how the rightful king has landed, you might say landed in disguise, and is calling us to take part in a great campaign of sabotage.
C. S. Lewis
The sun looks down on nothing half so good as a household laughing together over a meal.
C. S. Lewis
You must not do, you must not even try to do, the will of the Father unless you are prepared to 'know of the doctrine'.
C. S. Lewis
Children are not deceived by fairy-tales they are often and gravely deceived by school-stories. Adults are not deceived by science-fiction they can be deceived by the stories in the women's magazines.
C. S. Lewis
You are certainly under the guidance of the Holy Ghost or you wouldn't have come where you now are.
C. S. Lewis
We must stop regarding unpleasant or unexpected things as interruptions of real life. The truth is that interruptions are real life.
C. S. Lewis
Evil can be undone, but it cannot 'develop' into good. Time does not heal it. The spell must be unwound, bit by bit, 'with backward mutters of dissevering power' - or else not.
C. S. Lewis
No one can say 'He jests at scars who never felt a wound' for I have never for one moment been in a state of mind to which even the imagination of serious pain was less than intolerable. If any man is safe from the danger of under-estimating this adversary, I am that man.
C. S. Lewis
The devil loves 'curing' a small fault by giving you a great one.
C. S. Lewis
Morality is a mountain which we cannot climb by our own efforts and if we could we should only perish in the ice and unbreathable air of the summit, lacking those wings with which the rest of the journey has to be accomplished. For it is from there that the real ascent begins. The ropes and axes are 'done away' and the rest is a matter of flying.
C. S. Lewis
Much is expected from those to whom much is given.
C. S. Lewis
The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men into Christ.
C. S. Lewis
Many things, such as loving, going to sleep, or behaving unaffectedly - are done worst when we try hardest to do them.
C. S. Lewis
It's so large It's the world dear, did you think it'd be small? smaller
C. S. Lewis
I think we must attack -- wherever we meet it -- the nonsensical idea that mutually exclusive propositions about God can both be true.
C. S. Lewis
For you will certainly carry out God's purpose, however you act, but it makes a difference to you whether you serve like Judas or like John.
C. S. Lewis
The monstrosity of sexual intercourse outside marriage is that those who indulge in it are trying to isolate one kind of union (the sexual) from all the other kinds of union which were intended to go along with it and make up the total union.
C. S. Lewis
We may note in passing that He (Jesus) was never regarded as a mere moral teacher. He did not produce that effect on any of the people who actually met Him. He produced mainly three effects - Hatred - Terror - Adoration. There was no trace of people expressing mild admiration.
C. S. Lewis
To have Faith in Christ means, of course, trying to do all that He says. There would be no sense in saying you trusted a person if you would not take his advice.
C. S. Lewis
There seems to be hardly any one among my acquaintance from whom I have not learned.
C. S. Lewis
