Clive Staples, apologist extraordinaire
What Christian scholar does not love C. S. Lewis? I have been on a Lewis binge as of late and the quoteworthy essence of his words leads me to share them with you.
A few I've been mulling over:
"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."
"Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point."
"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."
"Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important."
"Has this world been so kind to you that you should leave with regret? There are better things ahead than any we leave behind."
"If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this."
