C. S. Lewis
Whenever a person dwells chiefly, or even frequently, on the faults of other people's religions, he is in a bad condition.
C. S. Lewis
You know me better than you think, you know, and you shall know me better yet.
C. S. Lewis
Joy bursts in our lives when we go about doing the good at hand and not trying to manipulate things and times to achieve joy.
C. S. Lewis
My will, shall become your will. My heart, shall become your heart.
C. S. Lewis
