Luther and Lewis

[On the Golden Rule] It takes a good teacher to condense and summarize such a long-drawn-out sermon in such a way that everyone can carry it home with him, be reminded of it daily, and see what is missing in his whole life; for he has it written in his own heart, and in fact, in his whole life and activity.—Martin Luther, Sermon on the Mount AE 21:236

St. Augustine and Rousseau both write Confessions; but to the one his own temperament is a kind of absolute..., to the other it is ‘a narrow house too narrow for Thee to enter—oh, make it wide. It is in ruins—oh, rebuild it’...—C. S. Lewis, Business of Heaven, p. 218
