But Pride always means enmity -- it is enmity. And not only enmity between man and man, but enmity to God.
("Mere Christianity")

But all night, Aslan and the Moon gazed upon each other with joyful and unblinking eyes.C.S. Lewis
Do not waste time bothering whether you love your neighbor act as if you did. As soon as we do this we find one of the great secrets. When you are behaving as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love him.
C.S. Lewis
He (the devil) always sends errors into the world in pairs--pairs of opposites...He relies on your extra dislike of one to draw you gradually into the opposite one. But do not let us be fooled. We have to keep our eyes on the goal and go straight through between both errors. We have no other concern than that with either of them.
C.S. Lewis
I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing thatpeople often say about Him I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moralteacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God. That is the one thing wemust not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesussaid would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic--on alevel with the man who says he is a poached egg--or else he would be theDevil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, theSon of God or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for afool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon or you can fall at Hisfeet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronisingnonsense about His being a great moral teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.
C.S. Lewis
We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst.

All shall be done, but it may be harder than you think.
