More quotes by C. S. Lewis
And there’s also ‘To him that hath shall be given.’ After all, you must have a capacity to receive, or even omnipotence can’t give. Perhaps your own passion temporarily destroys the capacity.
C. S. Lewis
We do know that no person can be saved except through Christ. We do not know that only those who know Him can be saved by Him.
C. S. Lewis
The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us.
C. S. Lewis
A pleasure is full grown only when it is remembered.
C. S. Lewis
Aren't all these notes the senseless writings of a man who won't accept the fact that there is nothing we can do with suffering except to suffer it?
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
There is no other day. All days are present now. This moment contains all moments.
C. S. Lewis
Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.
C. S. Lewis
And yet all loneliness, angers, hatreds, envies, and itchings that it contains, if rolled into one single experience and put into the scale against the least moment of the joy that is felt by the least in Heaven, would have no weight that could be registered at all. Bad cannot succeed even in being bad as truly as good is good.
C. S. Lewis
Thirst was made for water inquiry for truth. What you now call the free play of inquiry has neither more nor less to do with the ends for which intelligence was given you than masturbation has to do with marriage.
C. S. Lewis
Though we cannot experience our life as an endless present, we are eternal in God's eyes that is, in our deepest reality.
C. S. Lewis
I think God wants us to love Him more, not to love others less.
C. S. Lewis
No man who values originality will ever be original. But try to tell the truth as you see it, try to do any bit of work as well as it can be done for the work's sake, and what men call originality will come unsought.
C. S. Lewis
Very often the only way to get a quality in reality is to start behaving as if you had it already.
C. S. Lewis
Christianity has not message for those who do not realize they are sinners.
C. S. Lewis
We have a strange illusion that mere time cancels sin.
C. S. Lewis
God is the food our spirits were designed to feed on.
C. S. Lewis
Everywhere, except in theology, there has been a vigorous growth of skepticism about skepticism itself.
C. S. Lewis
If Christianity is only one more bit of good advice, then Christianity is of no importance.
C. S. Lewis
Every Christian would agree that a man's spiritual health is exactly proportional to his love for God.
C. S. Lewis
