"You cannot make men good by law:..." - Quote by C S Lewis

“Some people write heavily, some write lightly. I prefer the light approach because I believe there is a great deal of false reverence about. There is too much solemnity and intensity in dealing with sacred matters; too much speaking in holy tones.”

“Things always work according to their nature.”

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

“My only fear is doing something contrary to human nature - the wrong thing, the wrong way, or at the wrong time.”

“Neither moral relations nor the moral law can swing in vacuo. Their only habitat can be a mind which feels them; and no world composed of merely physical facts can possibly be a world to which ethical propositions apply.”

“Lack is more in means, than in principles.”

“The man for whom the law exists - the man of forms, the conservative - is a tame man.”

“Human law cannot punish or forbid all evil, since while doing away with evils it would do away with many good things, which would hinder the advance of the common good.”

“Nothing can be more abhorrent to democracy than to imprison a person or keep him in prison because he is unpopular. This is really the test of civilization.”
