For He (God) seems to do nothing of himself which He can possibly delegate to His creatures.
C. S. LewisOf all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
C. S. LewisOnce people stop believing in God, the problem is not that they will believe in nothing; rather, the problem is that they will believe anything.
C. S. LewisI cannot speak for the way God deals with others; I only know how he deals with me personally.
C. S. LewisNo Christian and, indeed, no historian could accept the epigram which defines religion as 'what a man does with his solitude.'
C. S. LewisAnd yet all loneliness, angers, hatreds, envies, and itchings that it contains, if rolled into one single experience and put into the scale against the least moment of the joy that is felt by the least in Heaven, would have no weight that could be registered at all. Bad cannot succeed even in being bad as truly as good is good.
C. S. Lewis
