C.S. Lewis

“Every man's happiness is his own responsibility.”
Abraham Lincoln

“Many of the things you can count, don't count. Many of the things you can't count, really count.”
Albert Einstein

“Example is not the main thing in influencing others . . . it is the only thing.”
John C. Maxwell

“Are the gods not just?" "Oh no, child. What would become of us if they were?”
C.S. Lewis

“If you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time.”

“But, for a Christian, there are, strictly speaking, no chances. A secret Master of the Ceremonies has been at work. Christ, who said to the disciples "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you," can truly say to every group of Christian friends "You have not chosen one another but I have chosen you for one another." The Friendship is not a reward for our discrimination and good taste in finding one another out. It is the instrument by which God reveals to each the beauties of all the others. They are no greater than the beauties of a thousand other men; by Friendship God opens our eyes to them. They are, like all beauties, derived from Him through the Friendship itself, so that it is His instrument for creating as well as for revealing. At this feast it is He who has spread the board and it is He who has chosen the guests. It is He, we may dare to hope, who sometimes does, and always should, preside. Let us not reckon without our Host.”
C.S. Lewis

“The whole art of government consists in the art of being honest. Only aim to do your duty, and mankind will give you credit where you fail.”
Thomas Jefferson

“If you don’t know how to be happy with what you have, you will never be happy with more.”
Rick Warren

“You can go with an empty pocket and come back heavily loaded if you allow your passion to escort you!”

“And yet all loneliness, angers, hatreds, envies, and itchings that (Hell) 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

“I believe in evolution, scientific inquiry, and global warming; I believe in free speech, whether politically correct or politically incorrect, and I am suspicious of using government to impose anybody's religious beliefs -including my own- on nonbelievers.”
Barack Obama

“Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable. How many hours are in a mile? Is yellow square or round? Probably half the questions we ask - half our great theological and metaphysical problems - are like that.”
C.S. Lewis
