"Obedience is the road to freedom...." - Quote by C S Lewis

“The very idea of freedom presupposes some objective moral law which overarches rulers and ruled alike...Unless we return to the crude and nursery-like belief in objective values, we perish.”

“Youth and age touch only the surface of our lives.”

“The great thing with unhappy times is to take them bit by bit, hour by hour, like an illness. It is seldom the present, the exact present, that is unbearable.”

“Those who, while they disapprove of the character and measures of a government, yield to it their allegiance and support are undoubtedly its most conscientious supporters, and so frequently the most serious obstacles to reform.”

“Resistance - that is the distinction of the slave. Let your distinction be obedience. Let your commanding itself be obeying!”

“To the good warrior soundeth "thou shalt" pleasanter than "I will." And all that is dear unto you, ye shall first have it commanded unto you.”

“Democracy means that when there's a knock in the door at 3 am, it's probably the milkman.”

“Regarding mutual tolerance: It is negative in one sense, but positive in another. It absolutely forbids us to be forward in pronouncing on the meaninglessness of forms of existence other than our own; and it commands us to tolerate, respect, and indulge those whom we see harmlessly interested and happy in their own ways, however unintelligible these may be to us. Hands off.”

“And alone and without his nest shall the Eagle fly across the sun.”
