All C. S. LEWIS Quotes about “Authority”

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

“Believing things on authority only means believing them because you have been told them by someone you think trustworthy. Ninety-nine per cent of the things you believe are believed on authority... Every historical event in the world is believed on authority. None of us has seen the Norman Conquest or the defeat of the Armada.”
