Spirituality: Quotations

"It is hard to have patience with people who say 'There is no death' or "Death doesn't matter."
There is death. And whatever is matters. And whatever happens has consequences,
and it and they are irrevocable and irreversible. You might as well say that birth doesn't matter."
(C. S. Lewis)

"Humility, after the first shock, is a cheerful virtue." -C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain

"To enter heaven is to become more human than you ever succeeded
in being on earth; to enter hell, is to be banished from humanity."
-C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain

The Instructor

However the Bible was no written by Jesus / and now we find a religion that was written by meat eaters and womanizers and intoxicators / and who have written a book of ignorant speculation about what they think God wants.

"That Jones shall worship the "god within him" turns out ultimately to mean that Jones shall worship Jones. Let Jones worship the sun or moon - anything rather than the Inner Light; let Jones worship cats or crocodiles, if he can find any in his street, but not the god within. Christianity came into the world firstly in order to assert with violence that a man had not only to look inwards, but to look outwards, to behold with astonishment and enthusiasm a divine company and a divine captain. The only fun of being a Christian was that a man was not left alone with the Inner Light, but definitely recognized an outer light, fair as the sun, clear as the moon, terrible as an army with banners." G. K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy [1909]

"For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. ... He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." John 3:17-18, 36

"He became what we are that He might make us what He is." Saint Athanasius, 295-373

"In life, unlike chess, the game continues after checkmate." Isaac Asimov (1920-1992)

"100 per cent of us die, and the percentage cannot be increased." (C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory)
