“There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory

“Live each day as if thy last” is a wise word from a hymn written in 1674 by Thomas Ken. The older we get, the more needful its wisdom becomes, and if we have not already taken it to heart, we should do so now.”
― J.I. Packer, Finishing Our Course with Joy: Guidance from God for Engaging with Our Aging

“Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory

“Any saying is to be taken in the sense it would naturally have borne in the time and place of utterance.”
― Clive Staples C S Lewis, The Weight of Glory
