More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Besides reasoning about matters of fact, men also make moral judgements.
C. S. Lewis
Everything except God has some natural superior everything except unformed matter has some natural inferior.
C. S. Lewis
When I lay these questions before God I get no answer. But a rather special sort of 'No answer.' It is not the locked door. It is more like a silent, certainly not uncompassionate, gaze. As though He shook His head not in refusal but waiving the question. Like, 'Peace, child you don't understand.
C. S. Lewis
What seem our worst prayers may really be, in God's eyes, our best. Those, I mean, which are least supported by devotional feeling. For these may come from a deeper level than feeling. God sometimes seems to speak to us most intimately when he catches us, as it were, off our guard.
C. S. Lewis
The Christian life is simply a process of having your natural self changed into a Christ self, and that this process goes on very far inside. One's most private wishes, one's point of view, are the things that have to be changed.
C. S. Lewis
Education is only the most fully conscious of the channels whereby each generation influences the next.
C. S. Lewis
Here. All of you. And you, doorkeeper. No one is to be let out of the house today. And anyone I catch talking about this young lady will be first beaten to death and then burned alive and after that be kept on bread and water for six weeks. There.
C. S. Lewis
No man can be an exile if he remembers that all the world is one city.
C. S. Lewis
You weren't a decent man and you didn't do your best. We none of us were and none of us did.
C. S. Lewis
No mind is so good that it does not need another mind to counter and equal it, and to save it from conceit and bigotry and folly
C. S. Lewis
In our own case we accept excuses too easily in other people's, we do not accept them easily enough.
C. S. Lewis
I have discovered that the people who believe most strongly in the next life do the most good in the present one.
C. S. Lewis
The process of growing up is to be valued for what we gain, not for what we lose.
C. S. Lewis
The promise, made when I am in love, to be true to the beloved as long as I live, commits me to being true even if I cease to be in love.
C. S. Lewis
There is nothing indulgent about the Moral Law. It is as hard as nails. If God is like the Moral Law, then He is not soft.
C. S. Lewis
Because God created the Natural - invented it out of His love and artistry - it demands our reverence.
C. S. Lewis
We must lay before him what is in us not what ought to be in us.
C. S. Lewis
I have come, said a deep voice behind them. They turned and saw the Lion himself, so bright and real and strong that everything else began at once to look pale and shadowy compared with him.
C. S. Lewis
Meaningless combinations of words do not suddenly acquire meaning simply because we prefix to them the two other words ' God can'.
C. S. Lewis
No emotion is, in itself, a judgement in that sense all emotions and sentiments are alogical. but they can be reasonable or unreasonable as they conform to Reason or fail to conform. The heart never takes the place of the head: but it can, and should, obey it.
C. S. Lewis
