"Man must endure his going hence...." - Quote by C S Lewis

“I can't imagine a man really enjoying a book and reading it only once.”

“Aravis also had many quarrels (and, I'm afraid, even fights) with Cor, but they always made it up again: so that years later, when they were grown up, they were so used to quarrelling and making it up again that they got married so as to go on doing it more conveniently.”

“We hear a great deal about the rudeness of the rising generation. I am an oldster myself and might be expected to take the oldsters' side, but in fact I have been far more impressed by the bad manners of parents to children than by those of children to parents.”

“I assess the power of a will by how much resistance, pain, torture it endures and knows how to turn to its advantage.”

“A man can live on his wits and his balls for only so long.”

“A man is a hero, not because he is braver than anyone else, but because he is brave for 10 minutes longer.”

“All life is an experiment. Place yourself in the middle of the stream of power and wisdom which animates all whom it floats, and you are without effort impelled to truth, to right and a perfect contentment.

I hate quotation. Tell me what you know.”

“You are too young to know how the world changes everyday,' said Mrs Creakle, 'and how the people in it pass away. But we all have to learn it, David; some of us when we are young, some of us when we are old, some of us at all times in our lives.”

“Practice being grateful for everything that life has blessed you with.”
