More quotes by C. S. Lewis
We have not long to live in any event. Let us spend what is left in seeking the unpeopled world behind the sunrise.
C. S. Lewis
A pipe gives a wise man time to think and a fool something to stick in his mouth.
C. S. Lewis
Look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in
C. S. Lewis
He is not the soul of Nature, nor any part of Nature. He inhabits eternity: He dwells in a high and holy place: heaven is His throne, not his vehicle, earth is his footstool, not his vesture. One day he will dismantle both and make a new heaven and earth. He is not to be identified even with the 'divine spark' in man. He is 'God and not man.
C. S. Lewis
Jesus Christ did not say, 'Go into the world and tell the world that it is quite right.'
C. S. Lewis
If Christianity was something we were making up, of course we could make it easier. But it is not.
C. S. Lewis
[Something] does not rise to the dignity of error.
C. S. Lewis
The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of 60 minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.
C. S. Lewis
The game is to have them all running about with fire extinguishers when there is a flood, and all crowding to that side of the boat which is already nearly gunwale under.
C. S. Lewis
Grief. The pain now is part of the happiness then. That's the deal.
C. S. Lewis
When you have reached your own room, be kind to those Who have chosen different doors and to those who are still in the hall.
C. S. Lewis
Safety and happiness can only come from individuals, classes, and nations being honest and fair and kind to each other.
C. S. Lewis
The devil loves 'curing' a small fault by giving you a great one.
C. S. Lewis
The safest road to hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.
C. S. Lewis
You must ask for God's help. Even when you have done so, it may seem to you for a long time that no help, or less help than you need, is being given. Never mind. After each failure, ask forgiveness, pick yourself up, and try again. Very often what God first helps us towards is not the virtue itself but just this power of always trying again.
C. S. Lewis
The story does what no theorem can quite do. It may not be like real life in the superficial sense: but it sets before us an image of what reality may well be like at some more central region.
C. S. Lewis
If one has to choose between reading the new books and reading the old, one must choose the old: not because they are necessarily better but because they contain precisely those truths of which our own age is neglectful.
C. S. Lewis
Further up and further in!
C. S. Lewis
Lucy looked and saw that Aslan had just breathed on the feet of the stone giant. It's all right! shouted Aslan joyously. Once The feet are put right, all the rest of him will follow.
C. S. Lewis
The basic proposal of the new education is to be that dunces and idlers must not be made to feel inferior to intelligent and industrious pupils. That would be 'undemocratic.
C. S. Lewis
