Lecture IX (Nr. 0092)

[89] So you see how such a consideration brings the technical realm immediately into the relationship to problems of ultimate concern. I had, two weeks ago, a meeting with some architects about church building, and I had to give the introductory speech, and my main emphasis was honesty, the principle of honesty. This was accepted by all of them. The question, of course, was: what is, in a special religious group, the honest expression of what it means? Now if you are ever in the occasion to build a house or to choose to rent a house, then think of this principle before any other principle. And if you buy furniture for your house, think of this principle. Only if it is an HONEST EXPRESSION, of what you are, then it will express your being and give happiness to you.
