More quotes by C. S. Lewis
I may repeat 'Do as you would be done by' till I am black in the face, but I cannot really carry it out till I love my neighbor as myself: and I cannot learn to love my neighbor as myself till I learn to love Godand I cannot learn to love God except by learning to obey him.
C. S. Lewis
The happiness which God designs for His higher creatures is the happiness of being freely, voluntarily united to Him and to each other in an ecstasy of love and delight compared with which the most rapturous love between a man and a woman on this earth is mere milk and water. And for that they must be free.
C. S. Lewis
The longer we stay in Hell, the more we become attached to it.
C. S. Lewis
Friendship is the instrument by which God reveals to each of us the beauties of others.
C. S. Lewis
Feeling like the voice she liked best in all the world was calling her name.
C. S. Lewis
Your real, new self (which is Christ's and also yours, and yours just because it is His) will not come as long as you are looking for it. It will come when you are looking for Him.
C. S. Lewis
A moderately bad man knows he is not very good: a thoroughly bad man thinks he is alright. This is common sense really. You understand sleep when you are awake, not well you are sleeping.
C. S. Lewis
Most of us are not really approaching the subject in order to find out what Christianity says we are approaching it in the hope of finding support from Christianity for the views of our own party.
C. S. Lewis
Pooh! Grown-ups are always thinking of uninteresting explanations.
C. S. Lewis
As long as you are proud, you cannot know God.
C. S. Lewis
And He [God] and you are two things of such a kind that if you really get into any kind of touch with Him you will, in fact, be humble--delightedly humble, feeling the infinite relief of having for once got rid of all the silly nonsense about your own dignity which has made you restless and unhappy all your life.
C. S. Lewis
If my house has collapsed at one blow, that is because it was a house of cards. The faith which 'took these things into account' was not faith but imagination.
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
God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.
C. S. Lewis
The Opposite of Love is not hate, but power
C. S. Lewis
Prayer is request. The essence of request, as distinct from compulsion, is that it may or may not be granted. And if an infinitely wise Being listens to the requests of finite and foolish creatures, of course He will sometimes grant and sometimes refuse them.
C. S. Lewis
The heart never takes the place of the head: but it can, and should, obey it.
C. S. Lewis
If only this toothache would go away, I could write another chapter on the problem of pain.
C. S. Lewis
It is only when you are asked to believe in Reason coming from non-reason that you must cry Halt. Human minds. They do not come from nowhere.
C. S. Lewis
A God. The God. One word can make all the difference in the world.
C. S. Lewis
