Aim at heaven and you will get earth 'thrown in': aim at earth and you will get neither.

Mere Christianity (1952)

He begins to think for himself and meets Nineteenth-century Rationalism Which can explain away religion by any number of methods.

The Pilgrim's Regress (1933)

There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, in the end, "Thy will be done." All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. To those who knock it is opened.'
