William Lewis or Willie Lewis may refer to:...
long sunrise world
We have not long to live in any event. Let us spend what is left in seeking the unpeopled world behind the sunrise.
self use littles
I sometimes pray not for self-knowledge in general but for just so much self knowledge at the moment as I can bear and use at the moment; the little daily dose.
sorrow world matter
If I had really cared as I thought I did about the sorrows of the world I should not have been so overwhelmed when my own sorrow came- I thought I trusted the rope until it mattered to me whether it would bear me, now it matters and I find I didn't.
given philanthropy-giving expected
Much is expected from those to whom much is given.
temptation looks facts
Our temptation is to look eagerly for the minimum that will be accepted. We are in fact very like honest but reluctant taxpayers.
heart voice meditation
In silence and in meditation on the eternal truths, I hear the voice of God which excites our hearts to greater love.
determination love-is cost
God's love is not wearied by our sins & is relentless in its determination that we be cured at whatever cost to us or Him
running selfish keys
That is the key to history. Terrific energy is expended - civilizations are built up - excellent institutions devised; but each time something goes wrong. Some fatal flaw always brings the selfish and cruel people to the top, and then it all slides back into misery and ruin. In fact, the machine conks. It seems to start up all right and runs a few yards, and then it breaks down.
punishment names ideas
...this new idea of cure instead of punishment, so humane in seeming, had in fact deprived the criminal of all rights and by taking away the name Punishment made the thing infinite.
prayer animal differences
At the very least, they can be persuaded that the bodily position makes no difference to their prayers; for they constantly forget[...]that they are animals and that whatever their bodies do affects their souls.
religious reading reality
Many a man, brought up in the glib profession of some shallow form of Christianity, who comes through reading Astronomy to realize for the first time how majestically indifferent most reality is to man, and who perhaps abandons his religion on that account, may at that moment be having his first genuinely religious experience.
alive sun passed-away
When all the suns and nebulae have passed away, each one of you will still be alive.
self surrender easy
Since I am I, I must make an act of self-surrender, however small or however easy, in living to God rather than to my self.
pain men race
I can answer that only by hearsay, returned the Guide, for pain is a secret which he has shared with your race and not with mine; and you would find it as hard to explain suffering to me as I would find it to reveal to you the secrets of the Mountain people. But those who know best say this, that any liberal man would choose the pain of this desire, even for ever, rather than the peace of feeling it no longer; and that though the best thing is to have, the next best is to want, and the worst of all is not to want.
