Image
I came alive when I started loving you.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Whatever you do, He will make good of it. But not the good He had prepared for you if you had obeyed him.
C. S. Lewis
Image
I read in a periodical the other day that the fundamental thing is how we think of God. By God Himself, it is not! How God thinks of us is not only more important, but infinitely more important.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The worst of sleeping out of doors is that you wake up so dreadfully early. And when you wake up you have to get up because the ground is so hard you are uncomfortable. And it makes matters worse if there is nothing but apples for breakfast and you have had nothing but apples for supper the night before.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Who can endure a doctrine which would allow only dentists to say whether our teeth were aching, only cobblers to say whether our shoes hurt us, and only governments to tell us whether we were being well governed?
C. S. Lewis
Image
In silence and in meditation on the eternal truths, I hear the voice of God which excites our hearts to greater love.
C. S. Lewis
Image
After an error you need not only to remove the causes but also to correct the error itself: after a sin you must not only, if possible, remove the temptation, you must also go back and repent the sin itself. In each case an 'undoing' is required.
C. S. Lewis
Image
He who has God and everything else has no more than he who has God only.
C. S. Lewis
Image
If these holy places, things, and days cease to remind us, if they obliterate our awareness that all ground is holy and every bush (could we but perceive it) a Burning Bush, then the hallows begin to do harm. Hence both the necessity, and the perennial danger, of 'religion.'
C. S. Lewis
Image
It costs God nothing, so far as we know, to create nice things: but to convert rebellious wills cost Him crucifixion.
C. S. Lewis

They Open A Door And Enter A World
C. S. Lewis
Image
The more often he feels without acting, the less he will be able ever to act, and, in the long run, the less he will be able to feel.
C. S. Lewis
Image
First be sure that you know exactly what you want to say. Then be sure you have said exactly that.
C. S. Lewis
Image
I wish we didn't live in a world where buying and selling things seems to have become almost more important than either producing or using them.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Good and evil both increase at compound interest.
C. S. Lewis
Image
In the science, Evolution is a theory about changes in the myth it is a fact about improvements.
C. S. Lewis
Image
You can begin as if nothing had ever gone wrong. White as snow.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Even the best Christian that ever lived is not acting on his own steam--he is only nourishing or protecting a life he could never have acquired by his own efforts.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The worst attitude of all would be the professional attitude which regards children in the lump as a sort of raw material which we have to handle.

Image
This world is a great sculptor's shop. We are the statues and there is a rumor going round the shop that some of us are some day going to come to life.
