C. S. Lewis
Image
Safety and happiness can only come from individuals, classes, and nations being honest and fair and kind to each other.
C. S. Lewis
Image
God knows our situation He will not judge us as if we had no difficulties to overcome. What matters is the sincerity and perseverance of our will to overcome them.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Afflictions are... if we can so take them, our share in the Passion of Christ
C. S. Lewis

Miracles do not, in fact, break the laws of nature.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Humility, after the first shock, is cheerful virtue.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Before God closed in on me, I was offered what now appears a moment of wholly free choice. But I feel my decision was not so important. I was the object rather than the subject in this affair.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The mouse is a fair treat but this one would talk the hind legs off a donkey.
