Giving




I do not believe one can settle how much we ought

to give.  I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more

than we can spare.  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.  If

our charities do not at all pinch or hamper us, I should

say they are too small.  There ought to be things we 

should like to do and cannot do because our charities

expenditure excludes them.


C.S. Lewis
