Lewis on what good leadership does

These two Kings and two Queens governed Narnia well and long and happy was their reign...they made good laws and kept the peace and saved good trees from being unnecessarily cut down, and liberated young dwarfs and young satyrs from being sent to school, and generally stopped busybodies and interferers and encouraged ordinary people who wanted to live and let live.

On Pleasures

I began to listen to my own longings as rumors of another world, a bright clue to the nature of the Creator...

My natural desires, I now see, are pointers to the supernatural, not obstacles. In a world fallen far from its original design, God wants us to receive [pleasures] as gifts and not possessions, tokens of love and not loves in themselves.
