More quotes by C. S. Lewis

Image
The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of.
C. S. Lewis
Image
when pain is to be born, a little courage helps more than much knowledge, a little human sympathy more than much courage, and the least tincture of the love of God more than all.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Christian theology can fit in science, art, morality, and the sub-Christian religious. The scientific point of view cannot fit any of these things, not even science itself.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Hail Lord, ...Loose my chains.
C. S. Lewis
Image
We forgive, we mortify our resentment a week later some chain of thought carries us back to the original offence and we discover the old resentment blazing away as if nothing had been done about it at all. We need to forgive our brother seventy times seven not only for 490 offences but for one offence.
C. S. Lewis

I think we must attack -- wherever we meet it -- the nonsensical idea that mutually exclusive propositions about God can both be true.
C. S. Lewis
Image
But the great thing to remember is that, though our feelings come and go, His love for us does not. It is not wearied by our sins, or our indifference and, therefore, it is quite relentless in its determination that we shall be cured of those sins, at whatever cost to us, at whatever cost to Him.

Spying on people by magic is the same as spying on them in any other way.
C. S. Lewis
Image
If you think you are not conceited, it means you are very conceited indeed.
C. S. Lewis
Image
There ought to be things we should like to do and cannot do because our charitable expenditures excludes them.
C. S. Lewis
Image
I cannot understand how a man can appear in print claiming to disbelieve everything that he presupposes when he puts on the surplice. I feel it is a form of prostitution.
C. S. Lewis
Image
if anyone present wishes to make me the subject of his wit, I am very much at his service--with my sword--whenever he has leisure.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The absent are easily refuted.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Nothing can seem extraordinary until you have discovered what is ordinary.
C. S. Lewis
Image
If a thing is free to be good it is also free to be bad. And free will is what has made evil possible. Why, then, did God give them free will? Because free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having.
C. S. Lewis
Image
A promise must be about actions: no one can promise to go on feeling a certain way.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The story itself should force its moral upon you. You find out what the moral is by writing the story.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The most dangerous ideas in a society are not the ones being argued, but the ones that are assumed.
C. S. Lewis
Image
You are certainly under the guidance of the Holy Ghost or you wouldn't have come where you now are.

Image
What we want is not more little books about Christianity, but more little books by Christians on other subjects--with their Christianity latent.
