I am often, I believe, praying for others when I should be doing things for them. It's so much easier to pray for a bore than to go and see him.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

We may note in passing that He (Jesus) was never regarded as a mere moral teacher. He did not produce that effect on any of the people who actually met Him. He produced mainly three effects - Hatred - Terror - Adoration. There was no trace of people expressing mild admiration.

The great thing is to be found...

The great thing is to be found at one's post as a child of God, living each day as though it were our last, but planning as though the world might last a hundred years.

True humility is more like self-forgetfulness than false modesty.

Pain is God's megaphone to rouse a deaf world.

He (God) loved us not because ...

He (God) loved us not because we are lovable, but because He is love.

God, in the end, gives people what they most want, including freedom from himself. What could be more fair?

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

Courage is not simply one of t...

Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point, which means, at the point of highest reality. A chastity or honesty or mercy which yields to danger will be chaste or honest or merciful only on conditions. Pilate was merciful till it became risky.

Humility, after the first shock, is cheerful virtue.

Anger is the fluid love bleeds when cut.

It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.

The very first tear he made was so deep that I thought it had gone right into my heart.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

But how can the characters in ...

But how can the characters in a play guess the plot? We are not the playwright, we are not the producer, we are not even the audience. We are on the stage. To play well the scenes in which we are 'on' concerns us much more than to guess about the scenes that follow it.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

When I lay these questions bef...

When I lay these questions before God I get no answer. But a rather special sort of 'No answer.' It is not the locked door. It is more like a silent, certainly not uncompassionate, gaze. As though He shook His head not in refusal but waiving the question. Like, 'Peace, child; you don't understand.

Peter, High King of Narnia,' said Aslan. 'Shut the Door.

If all experienced God in the same way and returned Him an identical worship, the song of the Church triumphant would have no symphony, it would be played like an orchestra in which all instruments played the same note.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

I have swallowed up girls and boys, women and men, kings and emperors, cities and realms,' said the Lion. It didn't say this as if it were boasting, nor as if it were sorry, nor as if it were angry. It just said it.

Here at last is the thing I was made for.

Emerson said, Do you love me? means Do you see the same truth?-Or at least, 'Do you care about the same truth?
