More quotes by C. S. Lewis
God gives His gifts where He finds the vessel empty enough to receive them.
C. S. Lewis
The next moment is as much beyond our grasp, and as much in God's care, as that a hundred years away. Care for the next minute is as foolish as care for a day in the next thousand years. In neither can we do anything, in both God is doing everything.
C. S. Lewis
Ideally, we should like to define a good book as one which 'permits, invites, or compels' good reading
C. S. Lewis
A Christian is not a man who never goes wrong, but a man who is enabled to repent.
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
You can't really study people you can only get to know them.
C. S. Lewis
With the possible exception of the equator, everything begins somewhere.
C. S. Lewis
you had nothing to say about it and yet made the nothing up into words.
C. S. Lewis
Don't judge a man by where he is, because you don't know how far he has come.
C. S. Lewis
Ink is the great cure for all human ills.
C. S. Lewis
Some people probably think of the Resurrection as a desperate last moment expedient to save the Hero from a situation which had got out of the Author's control.
C. S. Lewis
It is only our bad temper that we put down to being tired or worried or hungry we put our good temper down to ourselves.
C. S. Lewis
He (God) loved us not because we are lovable, but because He is love.
C. S. Lewis
Once you become aware that the main business that you are here for is to know God, most of life's problems fall into place of their own accord. J.I. Packer Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you will get neither.
C. S. Lewis
Extraordinary things only happen to extraordinary people. Maybe it's a sign that you've got an extraordinary destiny--something greater than you could've imagined.
C. S. Lewis
Something of God... flows into us from the blue of the sky, the taste of honey, the delicious embrace of water whether cold or hot, and even from sleep itself.
C. S. Lewis
Good beats upon the damned incessantly as sound waves beat on the ears of the deaf, but they cannot receive it. Their fists are clenched, their teeth are clenched, their eyes fast shut. First they will not, in the end they cannot, open their hands for gifts, or their mouth for food, or their eyes to see.
C. S. Lewis
I see people, as they approach me, trying to make up their minds whether they'll 'say something about it' or not. I hate if they do, and if they don't.
C. S. Lewis
It takes all sorts to make a world or a church. This may be even truer of a church. If grace perfects nature it must expand all our natures into the full richness of the diversity which God intended when He made them, and Heaven will display far more variety than Hell.
C. S. Lewis
The love of knowledge is a kind of madness.
C. S. Lewis
