C. S. Lewis
If you live for the next world, you get this one in the deal but if you live only for this world, you lose them both.
C. S. Lewis
The great thing is to be found at one's post as a child of God, living each day as though it were our last, but planning as though the world might last a hundred years.
C. S. Lewis
It doesn't really matter whether you grip the arms of the dentist's chair or let your hands lie in your lap. The drill drills on.
C. S. Lewis
A God. The God. One word can make all the difference in the world.
