Gems from Mother's '86-'88 blue Journal

Quote about C.S.Lewis~
"He had a remarkable talent for friendship, particularly for friendship of an uproarious kind, masculine and argumentative but never quarrelsome."

C.S.Lewis quotes~
"It gives you the impression of an escaped lunatic's conversation while chasing his hat on a windy day."

To his brother-"...I hope to God the war will be over before my valuable person gets anywhere near it."

About F.de Sales-"I would regard his prose as the sweetest of religious writings."

"At any rate, He (God) said He would (give) if we asked and He ought to know. (We often talk as if He were not very good at Theology!)"

"God, who foresaw your tribulation (husband's infidelity) has specially armed you to go through it, not without pain, but without stain."

"The greatest pleasure that money can give us is to make it unnecessary to think about money."
