because I see it, but because by it I

see everything else.”
“If I nd in myself a desire

which no experience in
this world can satisfy, the
most probable
explanation is that I was
made for another world.”
 
“Joy is the serious business of
heaven.”
“We must show our Christian colors

if we are to be true to Jesus Christ.”
“God cannot give us a happiness

and peace apart from Himself,
because it is not there. There is no
such thing.”
“Aim at heaven and you will get

earth thrown in. Aim at earth and
you get neither.”
“Christianity, if false, is of
no importance, and if
true, of in nite
importance. The only
thing it cannot be is
moderately important.”

“A young man who wishes to

remain a sound atheist cannot be
too careful of his reading.”
“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.”
“If you read history you will nd 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.”
“Miracles are a retelling in small

letters of the very same story which
is written across the whole world in
letters too large for some of us to
see.”
“When Christ died, He

died for you individually
just as much as if you'd
been the only man in the
world.”
 
“I think that all things, in their way,

re ect heavenly truth, the
imagination not least.”
“Everyone has noticed how hard it is

to turn our thoughts to God when
everything is going well with us...
While what we call 'our own life'
remains agreeable, we will not
surrender it to Him. What, then, can
God do in our interests but make
'our own life' less agreeable to us,
and take away the plausible
sources of false happiness?”
“A man who is eating or lying with

his wife or preparing to go to sleep
in humility, thankfulness and
temperance, is, by Christian
standards, in an in nitely higher
state than one who is listening to
Bach or reading Plato in a state of

pride.”

15 Bible Quotes
“The Christian does not

think God will love us
because we are good, but
 that God will make us


good because He loves
us.”
“Imagine yourself as a living house.

God comes in to rebuild that house.
At rst, perhaps, you can
understand what He is doing. He is
getting the drains right and
stopping the leaks in the roof and
so on; you knew that those jobs
needed doing and so you are not
surprised. But presently He starts
knocking the house about in a way
that hurts abominably and does not
seem to make any sense. What on
earth is He up to? The explanation
is that He is building quite a
different house from the one you

thought of – throwing out a new
wing here, putting on an extra oor
there, running up towers, making
courtyards. You thought you were
being made into a decent little
cottage: but He is building a palace.
He intends to come and live in it
Himself.”
 
“To be a Christian means to forgive
the inexcusable because God has
forgiven the inexcusable in you.”
“[God] will not be used as a

convenience. Men or nations who
think they can revive the Faith in
order to make a good society might
just as well think they can use the
stairs of heaven as a shortcut to the
nearest chemist’s shop.”

You to Live for Today
“I didn’t go to religion to make me

happy. I always knew a bottle of
Port would do that. If you want a
religion to make you feel really
comfortable, I certainly don’t
recommend Christianity.”
“It would seem that Our Lord nds

our desires not too strong, but too
weak. We are half-hearted
creatures, fooling about with drink
and sex and ambition when in nite
joy is offered us, like an ignorant
child who wants to go on making

mud pies in a slum because he
cannot imagine what is meant by
the offer of a holiday at the sea. We
are far too easily pleased.”
“True humility is not

thinking less of yourself;
it is thinking of yourself
 less.” 
“Look for yourself, and you will nd
in the long run only hatred,
loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and
decay. But look for Christ and you
will nd Him, and with Him
everything else thrown in.”
“Human history is the long terrible

story of man trying to nd
something other than God which
will make him happy.”
“The great thing to

remember is that though
our feelings come and go
God’s love for us does
not.”
“I think that if God forgives us we

must forgive ourselves. Otherwise,
it is almost like setting up ourselves
as a higher tribunal than Him.”
“Because free will, though it makes

evil possible, is also the only thing
that makes possible any love or
goodness or joy worth having.”
