Top 5 quotes from C.S. Lewis

"Reasoning is never, like poetry, judged from the outside at all."
"Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery's shadow or reflection: the fact that you don't merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief."
"There will be two kinds of people in the end: Those that will say to God 'Thy will be done' and those to whom God will say 'Thy will be done.'"
"Our passions are not too strong, they are too weak. We are far too easily pleased."

"Americans learn only from catastrophe and not from experience."
"Great ability develops and reveals itself increasingly with every new assignment."
"Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment."
"Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to that arrogant oligarchy who merely happen to be walking around."
