Some quotes from C. S. Lewis, the christian author of Narnia books

"The great thing is to be found at one's post as a child of God, living each day as though it were our last, but planning as though our world might last a hundred years."
-C.S. Lewis, God in the Dock

"An almost perfect relationship with his father was the earthly root of all his wisdom. From his own father, he said, he first learned that Fatherhood must be at the core of the universe. He was thus prepared in an unusual way to teach that religion in which the relation of Father and Son is of all relations the most central."
-C.S. Lewis, George MacDonald: An Anthology

 
 “If God is Love, He is, by definition, something more than mere kindness. And it appears, from all the records, that though He has often rebuked us and condemned us, He has never regarded us with contempt. He has paid us the intolerable compliment of loving us, in the deepest, most tragic, most inexorable sense." C.S Lewis


 “Do not waste time bothering whether you “love” your neighbour; act as if you did. As soon as we do this we find one of the great secrets.When you behave as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love him.” C. S. Lewis – Mere Christianity p.131

 

“All these toys were never intended to possess my heart. My true good is in another world and my only real treasure is Christ.” C. S. Lewis
 
“We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade, the presence of God. The world is crowded with Him. He walks everywhere incognito.” C. S. Lewis


“When I have learnt to love God better than my earthly dearest, I shall love my earthly dearest better than I do now… When first things are put first, second things are not suppressed but increased.” C. S. Lewis
 
"We are what we believe we are.” C. S. Lewis
