More quotes by C. S. Lewis
The more lucidly we think, the more we are cut off: the more deeply we enter into reality, the less we can think.
C. S. Lewis
The right direction leads not only to peace but to knowledge.
C. S. Lewis
In the truest sense, Christian pilgrims have the best of both worlds. We have joy whenever this world reminds us of the next, and we take solace whenever it does not.
C. S. Lewis
Death and resurrection are what the story is about and had we but eyes to see it, this has been hinted on every page, met us, in some disguise, at every turn, and even been muttered in conversations between such minor characters (if they are minor characters) as the vegetables.
C. S. Lewis
Those who have nothing can share nothing those who are going nowhere can have no fellow-travellers.
C. S. Lewis
Be good, sweet maid, and don't forget that this involves being as clever as you can.
C. S. Lewis
You have not chosen one another, but I have chosen you for one another.
C. S. Lewis
We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade the presence of God. The world is crowded with Him. He walks everywhere incognito.
C. S. Lewis
Nothing can seem extraordinary until you have discovered what is ordinary.
C. S. Lewis
Laziness means more work in the long run.
C. S. Lewis
Now God designed the human machine to run on Himself. He Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, or the food our spirits were designed to feed on. There is no other.
C. S. Lewis
Friendship is the greatest of worldly goods. Certainly to me it is the chief happiness of life. If I had to give a piece of advice to a young man about a place to live, I think I should say, 'sacrifice almost everything to live where you can be near your friends.'
C. S. Lewis
As St. Paul points out, Christ never meant that we were to remain children in intelligence: on the contrary, He told us to be not only as harmless as doves, but also as wise as serpents. He wants a child's heart, but a grown-up's head.
C. S. Lewis
The moment you wake up each morning, all your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals. And the first job each morning consists in shoving it all back in listening to that other voice, taking that other point of view, letting that other, larger, stronger, quieter life come flowing in.
C. S. Lewis
Giving to the poor is an essential part of Christian morality.
C. S. Lewis
The assumption that things which have been conjured in the past will always be conjured in the guiding principle not of rational but of animal behavior.
C. S. Lewis
No natural feelings are high or low, holy or unholy, in themselves. They are all holy when God's hand is on the rein. They all go bad when they set up on their own and make themselves into false gods.
C. S. Lewis
Forgiveness does not mean excusing.
C. S. Lewis
Alas, said Aslan, shaking his head. It will. Things always work according to their nature. She has won her heart's desire she has unwearying strength and endless days like a goddess. But length of days with an evil heart is only length of misery and already she begins to know it. All get what they want they do not always like it.
C. S. Lewis
The very man who has argued you down, will sometimes be found, years later, to have been influenced by what you said
C. S. Lewis
