Future, Courage, and No Big Words by C.S. Lewis
I have long admired the writings and wisdom of author C.S. Lewis who is most widely known for his authoring of the “Chronicles of Narnia”. He actually wrote many wonderful books. For a complete list click here http://www.iblist.com/author349.htm
Here are 3 favorite quotes that offer just the slightest glimpse into his wisdom.
The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of 60 minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is. ~ C. S. Lewis
Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point. ~ C. S. Lewis
Don’t use words too big for the subject. Don’t say “infinitely” when you mean “very”; otherwise you’ll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. ~ C. S. Lewis
In summary then we might say “take some time in the future to be courageous as you speak virtue without exaggeration.
Let’s make this a greater week, by becoming greater people.
