13 C. S. Lewis Proverbs That Are so True They Should Be Canonized

C. S. Lewis (Clive Staples Lewis) is simply a theological genius in my book. Mere Christianity? Excellent. The Screwtape Letters? Timeless. The Chronicles of Narnia? Meaningful. Prophets and apostles quote him frequently, and for good reason. He offers incredible insights into religion and personal spirituality. Here are 13 of my favorite C. S. Lewis proverbs, provided by the Twitter account @CSLewisDaily, that I would be totally fine with canonizing as scripture right now. 1.

CS Lewis has been a favorite of mine for many years. I have read many of his books and essays. He was a man who recognized the essence of Christianity

and used his scholarly talents to bring hope and truth to mankind in a variety of interesting ways, some very symbolic and others painfully straightforward. He has added a great deal of insight and wisdom to a self-serving and prideful world. 

Here are a few of my favorites!

“There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.” 
"If God forgives us we must forgive ourselves otherwise its like setting up ourselves as a higher tribunal than him."

"Free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having."
