“Niceness”-wholesome, integrated personality-is an excellent thing. We must try by every medical, educational, economic, and political means in our power, to produce a world where as many people as possible grow up “nice”; just as we must try to produce a world where all have plenty to eat.

Here are a few more quotes from Mere Christianity In other words, if our expenditure on comforts, luxuries, amusements, etc., is up to the standard common among those with the same income as our own, we are probably giving away too little.

I don’t know if Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis is for everybody, but it does have some really good points and ideas and images in it. A man who changed from having Bios [natural life] to having Zoe [life in Christ] would have gone through as big a change as a statue which changed from…

“What I mean, brothers, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they had none; those who mourn, as if they did not; those who are happy, as if they were not; those who buy something, as if it were not theirs to keep; those who…
I read this today at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13944109/ Red Cross officials here said scores of people were killed in attacks across the south on Tuesday. With roads under threat of attack, they said, the office’s five ambulances couldn’t reach villages, leaving victims buried under the rubble.
