“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, and Other Addresses

“Make it a rule never to give a child a book you would not read yourself.”
― George Bernard Shaw

“For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson
