Quote by C.S. Lewis

Keep back nothing. Nothing that you have not given away will ever be really yours. Nothing in you that has not died will ever be raised from the dead. Look for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. But look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in.

Keep back nothing. Nothing that you have not given away will

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of selflessness and surrendering oneself completely. It suggests that true ownership and fulfillment can only be found when one willingly gives away everything they possess, whether it be physical possessions or emotional attachments. By letting go of our ego-driven desires, resentments, and pride, we open ourselves up to the possibility of finding a deeper meaning, purpose, and connection with God or a higher power. The quote implies that true happiness lies in seeking not for oneself but for something greater than ourselves, such as embracing spirituality or devoting oneself to serving others.

The fact is if we do our job right, if we keep worrying not about polls but about the jobs of the American people, about their health care, about their ability to educate their kids, stay in their homes and own their homes, send their kids to college, the basic pillars of a middle-class life, if we keep worrying about the future and building a stronger future for this country, these things will take care of themselves.
