William Lewis or Willie Lewis may refer to:...
falling-in-love passion love-is
Falling in love is something that happens to us, being is love is something we do. No passion is self preservatory.
believe animal men
No justification of virtue will enable a man to be virtuous. Without the aid of trained emotions the intellect is powerless against the animal organism. I had sooner play cards against a man who was quite skeptical about ethics, but bred to believe that ‘a gentleman does not cheat’, than against an irreproachable moral philosopher who had been brought up among sharpers.
real father son
To please God… to be a real ingredient in the divine happiness… to be loved by God, not merely pitied, but delighted in as an artist delights in his work or a father in a son- it seems impossible, a weight or burden of glory which our thoughts can hardly sustain. But so it is.
demand beloved
Love, in its own nature, demands the perfecting of the beloved.
joy desire pilgrim
All joy... emphasizes our pilgrim status; always reminds, beckons, awakens desire. Our best havings are wantings.
inspirational inspiring nature
Something of God... flows into us from the blue of the sky, the taste of honey, the delicious embrace of water whether cold or hot, and even from sleep itself.
love hurt losing
Why love if losing hurts so much? We love to know that we are not alone.
humility men needs
Man approaches God most nearly when he is in one sense least like God. For what can be more unlike than fullness and need, sovereignty and humility, righteousness and penitence, limitless power and a cry for help?
prayer order house
If they are wrong they need your prayers all the more; and if they are your enemies, then you are under orders to pray for them. That is one of the rules common to the whole house.
moving pride doors
And above all, you must be asking which door is the true one; not which pleases you best by its paint and panelling…the question should never be: ‘Do I like that kind of service?’ but ‘Are these doctrines true: Is holiness there? Does my conscience move me towards this? Is my reluctance to move to this door due to my pride, or my mere taste, or my personal dislike for this particular door-keeper?
wisdom loneliness meditation
We live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and private: and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship.
inspirational country religious
Every natural love will rise again and live forever in this country: but none will rise again until it has been buried.
adventure ends lion-the-witch-and-the-wardrobe
And so for a time it looked as if all the adventures were coming to and end; but that was not to be.
father desire moments
It is a happy moment when our desire crosses with the will of Heavenly Father.
