C. S. Lewis Delight Quotations

We delight to praise what we enjoy because the praise not merely expresses but completes the enjoyment; it is its appointed consummation. It is not out of compliment that lovers keep on telling one another how beautiful they are; the delight is incomplete till it is expressed.

Delight is incomplete until it is expressed.

The most valuable thing the Psalms do for me is to express the same delight in God which made David dance.

God loves us NOT because we're lovable, because He is love. Not because He needs to receive, because He delights to give.

We long for more and God's promise is that there is more awaiting us. More to delight us than we will ever exhaust.

Don't say it was "delightful"; make us say "delightful" when we've read the description.

Authority exercised with humility, and obedience accepted with delight are the very lines along which our spirits live.
