William Lewis or Willie Lewis may refer to:...
inspirational country religious
Every natural love will rise again and live forever in this country: but none will rise again until it has been buried.
wisdom loneliness meditation
We live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and private: and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship.
moving pride doors
And above all, you must be asking which door is the true one; not which pleases you best by its paint and panelling…the question should never be: ‘Do I like that kind of service?’ but ‘Are these doctrines true: Is holiness there? Does my conscience move me towards this? Is my reluctance to move to this door due to my pride, or my mere taste, or my personal dislike for this particular door-keeper?
prayer order house
If they are wrong they need your prayers all the more; and if they are your enemies, then you are under orders to pray for them. That is one of the rules common to the whole house.
humility men needs
Man approaches God most nearly when he is in one sense least like God. For what can be more unlike than fullness and need, sovereignty and humility, righteousness and penitence, limitless power and a cry for help?
love hurt losing
Why love if losing hurts so much? We love to know that we are not alone.
real father son
To please God… to be a real ingredient in the divine happiness… to be loved by God, not merely pitied, but delighted in as an artist delights in his work or a father in a son- it seems impossible, a weight or burden of glory which our thoughts can hardly sustain. But so it is.
believe animal men
No justification of virtue will enable a man to be virtuous. Without the aid of trained emotions the intellect is powerless against the animal organism. I had sooner play cards against a man who was quite skeptical about ethics, but bred to believe that ‘a gentleman does not cheat’, than against an irreproachable moral philosopher who had been brought up among sharpers.
happiness pain grieving
The pain I feel now is the happiness I had before. That's the deal.
hurt heart silence
Spiteful words can hurt your feelings but silence breaks your heart.
men literature different
In great literature, I become a thousand different men but still remain myself.
bereavement amputation beloved
The death of a beloved is an amputation.
rewards deeds unfairness
if you do one good deed your reward usually is to be set to do another and harder and better one.
