Who can endure a doctrine which would allow only dentists to say whether our teeth were aching, only cobblers to say whether our shoes hurt us, and only governments to tell us whether we were being well governed?
C. S. LewisFor pride is spiritual cancer: it eats up the very possibility of love, or contentment, or even common sense.
C. S. LewisThe only things we can keep are the things we freely give to God. What we try to keep for ourselves is just what we are sure to lose.
C. S. LewisWhat we have been told is how we men can be drawn into Christ-can become part of that wonderful present which the young Prince of the universe wants to offer to His Father-that present which is Himself and therefore us in Him. It is the only thing we were made for. And there are strange, exciting hints in the Bible that when we are drawn in, a great many other things in Nature will begin to come right. The bad dream will be over: it will be morning.
C. S. Lewis
