William Lewis or Willie Lewis may refer to:...
brother forgiving done
We forgive, we mortify our resentment; a week later some chain of thought carries us back to the original offence and we discover the old resentment blazing away as if nothing had been done about it at all. We need to forgive our brother seventy times seven not only for 490 offences but for one offence.
language communicate mediums
Language exists to communicate whatever it can communicate. Some things it communicates so badly that we never attempt to communicate them by words if any other medium is available.
unattainable consciousness invisible
All your life an unattainable ecstasy has hovered just beyond the grasp of your consciousness.
men understood
Man is to be understood only in his relationship to God.
book reading should
Ideally, we should like to define a good book as one which 'permits, invites, or compels' good reading
ideas narnia
That part of Rostrevor which overlooks Carlingford Lough is my idea of Narnia.
cutting sitting branches
There is a difficulty about disagreeing with God. He is the source from which all your reasoning power comes: you could not be right and he wrong any more than a stream can rise higher than its own source. When you are arguing against Him you are arguing against the very power that makes you able to argue at all: it is like cutting off the branch you are sitting on.
children school fiction
Children are not deceived by fairy-tales; they are often and gravely deceived by school-stories. Adults are not deceived by science-fiction ; they can be deceived by the stories in the women's magazines.
real writing views
What you want is practice, practice, practice. It doesn’t matter what we write (at least this is my view) at our age, so long as we write continually as well as we can. I feel that every time I write a page either of prose or of verse, with real effort, even if it’s thrown into the fire the next minute, I am so much further on.
enjoy glorify inviting
In commanding us to glorify Him, God is inviting us to enjoy Him.
fighting evil trying
We never find out the strength of the evil impulse inside us until we try to fight it.
men law
You cannot make men good by law.
men thinking action
If conversion makes no improvements in a man's outward actions then I think his 'conversion' was largely imaginary.
heart mediocrity break
Something deep in the human heart breaks at the thought of a life of mediocrity.
