More quotes by C. S. Lewis
The Scotch catechism says that man's chief end is 'to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.' But we shall then know that these are the same thing. Fully to enjoy is to glorify. In commanding us to glorify Him, God is inviting us to enjoy Him.
C. S. Lewis
If you never take risks, you'll never accomplish great things. Everybody dies, but not everyone has lived.
C. S. Lewis
The human mind is generally far more eager to praise and dispraise than to describe and define. It wants to make every distinction a distinction of value hence those fatal critics who can never point out the differing quality of two poets without putting them in an order of preference as if they were candidates for a prize.
C. S. Lewis
Of all bad men religious bad men are the worst.
C. S. Lewis
You all know, said the Guide, that security is mortals' greatest enemy.
C. S. Lewis
And in that far distant day when the gods become wholly beautiful, or we at last are shown how beautiful they always were, this will happen more and more. For mortals, as you said, will become more and more jealous. And mother and wife and child and friend will all be in league to keep a soul from being united with the Divine Nature.
C. S. Lewis
Lucy went first, biting her lip and trying not to say all the things she thought of saying to Susan. But she forgot them when she fixed her eyes on Aslan.
C. S. Lewis
If people knew how much ill-feeling unselfishness occasions, it would not be so often recommended from the pulpit.
C. S. Lewis
We come to Scripture not to learn a subject but to steep ourselves in a person.
C. S. Lewis
The Christian view is that men were created to be in a certain relationship to God (if we are in that relation to Him, the right relation to one another will follow inevitably).
C. S. Lewis
But in reading great literature I become a thousand men and yet remain myself. Like the night sky in the Greek poem, I see with a myriad eyes, but it is still I who see. Here, as in worship, in love, in moral action, and in knowing, I transcend myself and am never more myself than when I do.
C. S. Lewis
Every disability conceals a vocation, if only we can find it, which will 'turn the necessity to glorious gain.
C. S. Lewis
you had nothing to say about it and yet made the nothing up into words.
C. S. Lewis
The sun looks down on nothing half so good as a household laughing together over a meal.
C. S. Lewis
You cannot make men good by law: and without good men you cannot have a good society.
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
There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them. They themselves are equally pleased by both errors and hail a materialist or a magician with the same delight.
C. S. Lewis
Any amount of theology can now be smuggled into people's minds under the cover of fiction without their knowing it.
C. S. Lewis
Mere change is not growth. Growth is the synthesis of change and continuity, and where there is no continuity there is no growth.
C. S. Lewis
Look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in
C. S. Lewis
