William Lewis or Willie Lewis may refer to:...
education clever live-life
Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.
motivational live-life mean
We all want progress, but if you're on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.
faith religious catholic
Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.
running fuel machines
Now God designed the human machine to run on Himself. He Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, or the food our spirits were designed to feed on. There is no other.
simple sound realizing
The process of living seems to consist in coming to realize truths so ancient and simple that, if stated, they sound like barren platitudes.
spiritual taken thinking
If and when a horror turns up you will then be given Grace to help you. I don't think one is usually given it in advance. "Give us our daily bread" (not an annuity for life) applies to spiritual gifts too; the little daily support for the daily trial. Life has to be taken day by day and hour by hour.
dream mean simple
Man's conquest of Nature, if the dreams of some scientific planners are realized, means the rule of a few hundreds of men over billions upon billions of men. There neither is nor can be any simple increase of power on Man's side. Each new power won by man is a power over man as well.
men law giver
Men became scientific because they expected Law in Nature, and they expected Law in Nature because they believed in a Law Giver.
pain writing interesting
If only this toothache would go away, I could write another chapter on the problem of pain.
loneliness conscious born
We are born helpless. As soon as we are fully conscious we discover loneliness...
christian humility self
True humility is more like self-forgetfulness than false modesty.
strong philosophy boys
[M]an has been accustomed, ever since he was a boy, to having a dozen incompatible philosophies dancing about together inside his head. He doesn't think of doctrines as primarily "true" or "false," but as "academic" or "practical," "outworn" or "contemporary," "conventional" or "ruthless." Jargon, not argument, is your best ally in keeping him from the Church. Don't waste time trying to make him think that materialism is true! Make him think it is strong or stark or courageous—that it is the philosophy of the future. That's the sort of thing he cares about.
race achievement silence
Inner silence is for our race a difficult achievement. There is a chattering part of the mind which continues, until it is corrected, to chatter on even in the holiest places.
humility heart omnipotence
If the immutable heart can be grieved by the puppets of its own making, it is Divine Omnipotence, no other, that has subjected it, freely, and in a humility that passes understanding. If the world exists not chiefly that we may love God, but that God may love us, yet that very fact, on a deeper level, is so for our sakes. If He who in Himself can lack nothing chooses to need us, it is because we need to be needed.
