Living: C S Lewis on life

“It is safe to tell the pure in heart that they shall see God, for only the pure in heart want to.”

"Being in love" first moved them to promise fidelity: this quieter love enables them to keep the promise.”

"Thirst was made for water; inquiry for truth."

“What draws people to be friends is that they see the same truth. They share it.”

"In our own case we accept excuses too easily; in other people's, we do not accept them easily enough."

"Of all the bad men, religious bad men are the worst."

"Everyone says forgiveness is a lovely idea, until they have something to forgive."

"It is not your business to succeed, but to do right; when you have done so, the rest lies with God."

"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream."


"Humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less."
