C.S. Lewis: For God or Country

less than 1 minute read

β€œA man may have to die for our country, but no man must, in any exclusive sense, live for his country. He who surrenders himself without reservation to the temporal claims of a nation, or a party, or a class is rendering to Caesar that which, of all things, most emphatically belongs to God: himself.”

β€”C. S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory: And Other Addresses (New York: HarperOne, 2001), 53.
