Evidence (2023-02-07): Below is a list of the most frequent quotes we are asked about at the C.S. Lewis Foundation, listed in the order of frequency. None of these quotes are written by C.S. Lewis (at least as far as the evidence goes). Due to the nature of the internet and social media, many of these quotes started out attributed to their proper author/speaker, but were soon falsely attributed to C.S. Lewis and quickly spread throughout the web. [...] Quotes NOT by C.S. Lewis - "You don’t have a soul. You are a soul.

Evidence (2020-04-08): Also, it is never too late to dream something different in your life. Well, all you need is a passion as well as dedication. If you have these two things with you, nothing can stop you from reaching your destination. Also, your age is not a factor when it comes to dreams and passion. For instance, some people become the CEO of a company at the age of 45, and some people become CEO at the age of 25, and some people become a billionaire at the age of 50, and some early. So, you can see that age is not a big deal. Well, the most important thing is to justify your life. If you can achieve your dream, you will have no regrets in your life. Therefore, do not consider your age as a factor and enjoy life to the fullest.

Evidence (2019-09-06): The quote, which appears in front of an image of a starry night sky and mountains reflecting in a still lake, reads: "You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." [...] Dr Devin Brown, a professor of English at Asbury University, advised AAP FactCheck that "no one has been able to find anyplace where C S Lewis wrote or said, ‘You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream’." [...] Based on the evidence, AAP FactCheck found the quote about never being too old to set a new goal to be misattributed to 20th century author and theologian, C S Lewis. The quote was actually from American motivational speaker, Les Brown.

Evidence (2021-07-27): People often assume that C.S. Lewis was English, especially after listening to one of the few surviving recordings of his voice. They are surprised to discover that he was actually born in Belfast, Northern Ireland. He was, however, educated in England and lived in Oxford for most of his adult life. [...] A few years ago, I was looking for a Lewis-themed walking tour in Oxford and found one that cost an exorbitant $335. In addition to having numerous spelling mistakes, the organizer’s website attributed this quotation to Lewis: "You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." Lewis never wrote this. However, I have found that people typically do not appreciate it when you discredit their favorite misattributed quotation!

Evidence (2024-01-01): It is a reminder for me to set another goal. I am 75 and have retired but am busier than ever. Time to smell the roses! [...] Why do we limit OURSELVES sometimes with wrongful mindsets and worse, BELIEVE those mistaken mindsets? It takes MINDFULNESS to change our thought-patterns and if we can read this, we can choose this and achieve new learning and more life-affirming thought patterns. We must to live out the BEST manifestations of ourselves. INDEED, we are NEVER too "old" to set a new goal and dream new dreams! [...] I've just turned sixty. Finally, I can't claim youth anymore. I love C. S. Lewis and, with these words, my attitude has become youthful again.

Evidence (2022-01-18): - C. S. Lewis, "27 March 1951," in The Collected Letters of C. S. Lewis, Vol. 3: Narnia, Cambridge, and Joy 1950-1963, ed. Walter Hooper (San Francisco: Harper Collins, 2006), 105. See below for additional references. [...] - C. S.

Evidence (2013-08-12): C. S. Lewis once said, "Aim at Heaven and you will get earth ‘thrown in’; aim at earth and you will get neither." He said this in a radio talk on the BBC during World War II, and it was later collected in a little book known as Mere Christianity. Lewis’s words aren’t meant as a threat or a platitude, but simply as the truth behind how we orient our lives. "Aim at Heaven and you will get earth ‘thrown in’; aim at earth and you will get neither." I suspect Lewis had today’s Gospel reading in mind when he spoke these words; well, more precisely, today’s reading plus the ten verses before it, which the framers of our reading schedule oddly decided to skip. The ones we jumped over are fairly well known: Jesus speaks of the lilies of the field, how they grow; and about the birds of the air, how God provides for them. All of this distills down to one simple request by Jesus to his disciples: "Don’t worry!" He goes on to say that God knows what we need, so we shouldn’t spend all our time and energy chasing after such things. "Instead," says Jesus, "desire God’s kingdom and these things will be given to you as well."

Evidence (2013-05-21): For writers and academics that sit at the feet of the Inklings, the poem is well known. In the Fall of 1931, the theist C.S. Lewis was moving steadily toward a conversion to Christianity. On Sept 19, Lewis and Tolkien had a legendary conversation with another colleague and future Inkling, Hugo Dyson. They spoke late into the night, arguing about faith and theology and history. When the topic turned to "myth," Lewis evidently made the comment that myths were "lies breathed through silver." [...] While we don’t have Lewis’ response to this particular poem, we do know that it worked. A week later Lewis converted to Christianity, believing that God did, indeed, use myth to tell truths about the world. This conversation took place when Lewis and Tolkien were relatively obscure Oxford dons. History will remember them, though, for having attempted to be mythmakers themselves–to practice mythopoiea, to tell stories of deep truth in deeply creative ways. They did it quite differently–Lewis’ science fiction and Narnia and Till We Have Faces are quite different from the tales of Middle Earth–but it is difficult not to see the effect of this poem on the lives of these two men and on the history of English literature.

Evidence (2024-01-01): These quotes can be particularly useful for students who are facing challenges in their studies, as they remind students that perseverance, hard work, and determination are key to achieving their goals. They also encourage students to be persistent and to never give up on their dreams, and to look at their education as a lifelong process and not just a temporary phase in their lives. [...] Share a quote with a friend or family member who may be going through a difficult time, or post one on social media to inspire others. [...] Take time to reflect on the quote and think about how it relates to your own life and experiences.

Evidence (2023-01-29): Becoming comfortable with the uncomfortable is a pivotal action when it comes to growth. As is breaking through feelings of fear. Like the one and only Oprah, when you live fearlessly you open the door to new possibilities and ultimately, your dreams. [...] Chasing a dream has no age limit. Julia Child, famously adored chef, did but publish her first cookbook until she was 50. Vera Wang, one of the most iconic women working in fashion, did not enter the industry until she was 40. Use your experiences and wisdom as preparation for your next chapter and new goal, and know that there is no failure in exploring something new. "You just go after your wish. As soon as you start to pursue a dream, your life wakes up and everything has meaning." – Barbara Sher

Evidence (2022-08-12): To some, too old is equivalent to too late. They used to dream but once they "grew up", those dreams vanished. Dreams to them became wishful thinking.

Evidence (2023-04-27): Did CS Lewis say this? Absolutely not. It doesn’t sound even remotely like him. It’s trite syrup that drips of 21st-century populist-speaker-writer-religion centered around supernaturally vulnerable friendships. Ack. [...] Unlike many of Lewis’s other misattributed quotes (including: "Humility is not thinking of yourself less: it’s thinking less of yourself," and, "You are never too old to set another goal or dream a new dream," and, "You don’t have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body."), this one is almost spot on. What Lewis actually wrote was: [...] It is quoted in mainstream publications. It is quoted in AP History presentations. It is quoted by pastors. It is quoted on every Lewis-loving-blogger’s blog known to humankind. (I hyperbolize.) It is quoted on every quote site in existence. (I exaggerate.) It is even quoted by C. S. Lewis himself on his personal Twitter account. (I joke not.)

Evidence (2021-03-31): I have several quotations that inspire me, but this is one by C. S. Lewis, which I remind myself of frequently: "You are never too old to set another goal, or to dream a new dream." These words inspired me to fulfill my dream to become an author in my early forties. Initially, I figured I wasn’t young enough to pursue a new goal. When I stumbled upon Mr. Lewis’s quotation, I paused for several minutes and realized I wanted to build a new dream, because I had something to share with others. This quotation continues to give me fuel whenever I feel empty or try to convince myself to terminate my writing dreams.

Evidence (2023-06-09): I came across a funny video the other day about how young people view older people. I’m posting the video here. http://bit.ly/2C7Eu7Y [...] I also have the good fortune to interact with the other end of the lifeline, which is with the young people I coach for college interviews, medical school, pageants or jobs. And what the kids teach me is almost like going back to school, with their stories of trials and tribulations of school work, friend problems, first time job issues and not to mention a whole new language that I have to keep up with so I can communicate with them without them thinking, Ms. Deb is too old to be cool enough to be their coach. [...] I love the quote by C.S. Lewis that says,"… you are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." When I spend time with my elders, they still tell me of things they want to do. They are not interested in giving up because, as they see the world around them, they choose to find their place and space and do what they can with their limited eyesight and physical ability to live the days in their lives to the fullest.

Evidence (2022-08-12): It is a myth that dreams are only accomplished in our youth. Especially for women, who traditionally spent the first half of adulthood as caregivers, many find their dormant passions emerging after domestic responsibilities are over and discover their true calling later in life. It may seem ridiculous for me to say this with any authority at my age, but I want to share some stories that will show you why I say with conviction that you can achieve your dreams at any age. [...] There are countless stories of people taking their dreams into their own hands at every age and under every circumstance. Kyle Maynard climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro with no arms or legs, 60-year old Diane Nyad swam from Cuba to Florida after failing four times before, Laura Wilder wrote Little House on the Prairie after she was 60. [...] Aim high and set your sights on your dreams.

Evidence (2024-02-01): Growing old does not mean giving up on the things we once did during our youth, albeit done a little slower, nor does it mean we stop learning or trying out new things! If you're in the senior's category, you are never too old to set another goal, and another, and another. As it was put to me quite bluntly, "When we finish growing, we're finished!" How matter of fact is that? [...] The poet Robert Browning wrote [paraphrased], "Why do we stay on the earth except to grow?" Few of us dedicate ourselves to the process of growth. That's because growth requires change, and we're uncomfortable with the things change brings. It can be painful. We have been ageing from the moment we were conceived. In fact, on the day we were born, most of us would have been already nine months old. Therefore, fretting about getting older is as fruitless as worrying about the sun setting each day. Instead of worrying about the time we have left on earth, we should maximise every day of it and say, "I'm never too old to set another goal today!"

Evidence (2024-10-07): MOSCOW (AP) — A Russian court on Monday sentenced a 72-year-old American in a closed trial to nearly seven years in prison for allegedly fighting as a mercenary in Ukraine. Prosecutors said Stephen Hubbard signed a contract with the Ukrainian military after Russia sent troops into Ukraine in February 2022 and he fought alongside them until being captured two months later. WATCH: How Ukraine’s drones have transformed the fight against Russia He was sentenced to six years and 10 months in a general-security prison. Prosecutors had called for a sentence of seven years in a maximum-security prison. Hubbard, from the state of Michigan, is the first American known to have been convicted on charges of fighting as a mercenary in the Ukrainian conflict. The charges carried a potential sentence of 15 years, but prosecutors asked that his age be taken into account along with his admission of guilt, Russian news reports said. Arrests of Americans have become increasingly common in Russia in recent years. Concern has risen that Russia could be targeting U.S. nationals for arrest to use later as bargaining chips in talks to bring back Russians convicted of crimes in the U.S. and Europe.
