God is CS Lewis quotes

Here are some quotes from C. S. Lewis a great Christian writer from the last century.  He was not a preacher, but a writer who sought to explain why he was a Christian.  You could do well to read a couple of his works.  The Chronicles of Nardia were his.  He was one of the three Inklings. as they called themselves, that wrote at that time.  I am using his quotes to close out my 2022 thoughts, not because I have nothing to say, but because sometimes you find someone who does things better than you can do them.  These are short quotes, but very well-stated and very focused.  I would like to add one thought to them, C.S. Lewis stated that “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.”  I would like to add to that thought that also you are never too young.

 I have found a desire within myself that no experience in this world can satisfy; the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.

 I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.

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

 

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

 Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point.

 True humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less.

 God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.

 A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.

 

Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither.

 

Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: What! You too? I thought I was the only one.

 

Dream big, believe your God loves you and cares for you.  Spend more time reading His messages to you than the popular friction of the day.  And constantly be aware of the worldview of the people you are listening to.  Be they teachers, professors, newscasters, doctors, lawyers, friends, or relatives.  God bless you, Grandma and I are praying for you and we love you.
