C. S. Lewis

A sign of a culture that has lost its faith - Moral collapse follows upon spiritual collapse.
C. S. Lewis
Don't bother too much about your feelings. When they are humble, loving, brave, give thanks for them when they are conceited, selfish, cowardly, ask to have them altered. In neither case are they you, but only a thing that happens to you. What matters is your intentions and your behavior
C. S. Lewis
