C. S. Lewis
Either Jesus is the Son of God or a madman or worse. But His being just a great teacher? He's not left that open to us.

C. S. Lewis
The descent to hell is easy and those who begin by worshipping power, soon worship evil.
C. S. Lewis
The only safe rule is to give more than we can spare. Our charities should pinch and hamper us. If we live at the same level of affluence as other people who have our level of income, we are probably giving away too little.
C. S. Lewis
Courtship is the time for sowing those seeds which will grow up ten years into domestic hatred.
C. S. Lewis
Remember, he is not, like you, a pure spirit. Never having been a human (Oh that abominable advantage of the Enemy's) you don't realize how enslaved they are to the pressure of the ordinary.
C. S. Lewis
For prayer is request. The essence of request, as distinct from compulsion, is that it may or may not be granted.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
We are all fallen creatures and all very hard to live with.
C. S. Lewis
You must have a capacity to receive, or even omnipotence can't give.
C. S. Lewis

Now, today, this moment, is out chance to chose the right side. God is holding back to give us that chance. It will not last forever. We must take it or leave it.
C. S. Lewis
I'm a beast, I am, and a Badger what's more. We don't change. We hold on.
