William Lewis or Willie Lewis may refer to:...
mean love-is may
If we ignore it the truth that God is love may slyly come to mean for us the converse, that love is God.
inspirational funny life
The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of 60 minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.
book hero long
What does seem to me poisonous, what breeds a type of patriotism that is pernicious if it lasts but not likely to last long in an educated adult, is the perfectly serious indoctrination of the young in knowably false or biased history - the heroic legend drably disguised as text-book fact. With this creeps in the tacit assumption that other nations have not equally their heroes; perhaps even the belief - surely it is very bad biology - that we can literally 'inherit' tradition.
book writing wish
I have at last come to the end of the Faerie Queene: and though I say "at last", I almost wish he had lived to write six books more as he had hoped to do — so much have I enjoyed it.
book reading long
You can't get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me.
past perspective historical
I expressed skepticism, in the first chapter, about the utility of time machines in historical research. I especially advised against graduate students relying on them, because of the limited perspective you tend to get from being plunked down in some particular part of the past, and the danger of not getting back in time for your orals.
came greater united
The United States came out of the 1990s, if anything, in an even greater position of hegemony and preeminence than it was at the beginning of the 1990s.
almost arise causing dealt society
Retributive justice did not arise from any Christian principle; almost every pre-Christian society dealt with wrongdoers by causing them pain.
against list opponent point rather strongest target view
Sometimes I like to list the strongest arguments I can find to support a point of view I think is wrong. When I have them before me, I am up against a real opponent rather than a hypothetical one that is an easy target for me to hit.
people faults persons
Whenever a person dwells chiefly, or even frequently, on the faults of other people's religions, he is in a bad condition.
real men people
While friendship has been by far the chief source of my happiness, acquaintance or general society has always meant little to me, and I cannot quite understand why a man should wish to know more people than he can make real friends of.
giving hatred may
We may give our human loves the unconditional allegiance which we owe only to God. They they become gods: then they become demons. Then they will destroy us, and also destroy themselves. For natural loves that are allowed to become gods do not remain loves. They are still called so, but can become in fact complicated forms of hatred.
people romance forever
We are a people captivated by the power and romance of metaphor, forever seeking the invisible through the image of the visible.
inspirational positive success
Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement.
