More quotes by C. S. Lewis
Certain things, if not seen as lovely or detestable, are not being correctly seen at all.
C. S. Lewis
When Christ died, He died for you individually just as much as if you had been the only person in the world.
C. S. Lewis
There ought to be things we should like to do and cannot do because our charitable expenditures excludes them.
C. S. Lewis
I think God wants us to love Him more, not to love others less.
C. S. Lewis
Forgiveness does not mean excusing.
C. S. Lewis
Christianity thinks of human individuals not as mere members of a group or items in a list, but as organs in a body-different from one another and each contributing what no other could.
C. S. Lewis
Now God, who has made us, knows what we are and that our happiness lies in Him.
C. S. Lewis
If you have a religion it must be cosmic.
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
Beauty is not democratic she reveals herself more to the few than to the many.
C. S. Lewis
Don't bother too much about your feelings. When they are humble, loving, brave, give thanks for them when they are conceited, selfish, cowardly, ask to have them altered. In neither case are they you, but only a thing that happens to you. What matters is your intentions and your behavior
C. S. Lewis
We have not long to live in any event. Let us spend what is left in seeking the unpeopled world behind the sunrise.
C. S. Lewis
The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men into Christ.
C. S. Lewis
A dogmatic belief in objective value is necessary to the very idea of a rule which is not tyranny or an obedience which is not slavery.
C. S. Lewis
The story does what no theorem can quite do. It may not be like real life in the superficial sense: but it sets before us an image of what reality may well be like at some more central region.
C. S. Lewis
If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair.
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
An author should never conceive himself as bringing into existence beauty or wisdom which did not exist before, but simply and solely as trying to embody in terms of his own art some reflection of eternal Beauty and Wisdom.
C. S. Lewis
Look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in
C. S. Lewis
The Glory of God, and, as our only means of glorifying Him, the salvation of human souls, is the real business of life.
C. S. Lewis
