C. S. Lewis
Image
There is a story about a schoolboy who was asked what he thought God was like. He replied that, as far as he could make out, God was 'the sort of person who is always snooping around to see if anyone is enjoying himself and then trying to stop it.'
C. S. Lewis
Image
Everything except God has some natural superior everything except unformed matter has some natural inferior.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The Future is, of all things, the thing least like eternity. It is the most temporal part of time--for the Past is frozen and no longer flows, and the Present is all lit up with eternal rays.
C. S. Lewis
Image
No great wisdom can be reached without sacrifice.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Really great moral teachers never do introduce new moralities: it is quacks and cranks who do that.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Giving to the poor is an essential part of Christian morality.
C. S. Lewis
Image

C. S. Lewis
Image
The more we get what we now call 'ourselves' out of the way and let Him take us over, the more truly ourselves we become.
