I am in love and out of it I will not go.
C. S. Lewis
Further up and further in!
C. S. Lewis
Imagine yourself as a living house.
C. S. Lewis
It is by human avarice or human stupidity, not by the churlishness of nature, that we have poverty and overwork.
C. S. Lewis
But if we admit God, must we admit Miracle? Indeed, indeed, you have no security against it. That is the bargain. Theology says to you in effect, 'Admit God and with Him the risk of a few miracles, and I in return will ratify your faith in uniformity as regards the overwhelming majority of events.
C. S. Lewis
Wherever any precept of traditional morality is simply challenged to produce its credentials, as though the burden of proof lay on it, we have taken the wrong position.
C. S. Lewis
Catch {a man} at the moment when he is really poor in spirit and smuggle into his mind the gratifying reflection, By jove, I'm being humble, and almost immediately pride - pride at his own humility - will appear.
C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis
Each time you fall He'll pick you up. He knows your own efforts are never going to bring you anywhere near perfection
C. S. Lewis
In justifying cruelty to animals we put ourselves also on the animal level. We choose the jungle and must abide by our choice.
C. S. Lewis
Prosperity knits a man to the world. He feels that he is finding his place in it, while really it is finding its place in him.
C. S. Lewis
The beauty of life, is that you don't have to be modernly beautiful to live it.
C. S. Lewis
One always feel better when one has made up one's mind.
C. S. Lewis
The Son of God became a man to enable men to become sons of God. ~ Mere Christianity, By C. S. Lewis
C. S. Lewis
Art can teach without at all ceasing to be art.
C. S. Lewis
I have seen great beauty of spirit in some who were great sufferers. I have seen men, for the most part, grow better not worse with advancing years, and I have seen the last illness produce treasures of fortitude and meekness from most unpromising subjects.
C. S. Lewis
One of the dangers of having a lot of money is that you may be quite satisfied with the kinds of happiness money can give and so fail to realize your need for God. If everything seems to come simply by signing checks, you may forget that you are at every moment totally dependent on God.
C. S. Lewis
In God's dimension, so to speak, you find a being who is three Persons while remaining one Being, just as a cube is six squares while remaining one cube.
C. S. Lewis
You can’t get second things by putting them first. You get second things only by putting first things first.
C. S. Lewis
If religion does not make us better people, it will make us very much worse. And of all the bad men who have lived, the religious bad man is the worst of all.
C. S. Lewis
