At least five times, with the Arian and the Albigensian, with the Humanist skeptic, after Voltaire and after Darwin, the Christian Faith has to all appearance, gone to the dogs? But, in each of these five cases, it was the dog that died (Gilbert K Chesterton Quotes)
Mr. McCabe thinks that I am not serious but only funny, because Mr. McCabe thinks that funny is the opposite of serious. Funny is the opposite of not funny and nothing else (Gilbert K Chesterton Quotes)
Posting a letter and getting married [sic] are among the few things left that are entirely romantic; for to be entirely romantic, a thing must be irrevocable (Gilbert K Chesterton Quotes)
When it wishes anything done which is really serious, it collects twelve of the ordinary men standing round. The same thing was done, if I remember right, by the Founder of Christianity (Gilbert K Chesterton Quotes)
The artistic temperament is a disease that affects amateurs. Artists of a large and wholesome vitality get rid of their art easily, as they breathe easily or perspire easily. But in artists of less force, the thing becomes a pressure, and produces a definite pain, which is called the artistic temperament (Gilbert K Chesterton Quotes)
He walked by instinct along one white road, on which early birds hopped and sang, and found himself outside a fenced garden. There he saw the sister of Gregory, the girl with the gold-red hair, cutting lilac before breakfast, with the great unconscious gravity of a girl (Gilbert K Chesterton Quotes)
Time and again, the Faith has to all appearances gone to the dogs. But each time, it was the dog that died (Gilbert K Chesterton Quotes)
Every time a man knocks on a brothel door, he is really knocking for God (Gilbert K Chesterton Quotes)
Every one on this earth should believe, amid whatever madness or moral failure, that his life and temperament have some object on the earth. Every one on the earth should believe that he has something to give to the world which cannot otherwise be given (Gilbert K Chesterton Quotes)
The man who says, ‘my country right or wrong’ is like the man who says, ‘my mother drunk or sober’ (Gilbert K Chesterton Quotes)
There is also an insulting speech about ‘one grey day just like another’. You might as well talk about one green tree like another (Gilbert K Chesterton Quotes)
This is, first and last, the real value of Christmas; in so far as the mythology remains at all it is a kind of happy mythology. Personally, of course, I believe in Santa Claus; but it is the season of forgiveness, and I will forgive others for not doing so (Gilbert K Chesterton Quotes)
The outer ring of Christianity is a rigid guard of ethical abnegations and professional priests; but inside that inhuman guard you will find the old human life dancing like children and drinking wine like men; for Christianity is the only frame for pagan freedom. But in the modern philosophy the case is opposite; it is its outer ring that is obviously artistic and emancipated; its despair is within (Gilbert K Chesterton Quotes)
I may not practice what I preach but God forbid I should preach what I practice (Gilbert K Chesterton Quotes)
Every act of will is an act of self-limitation. To desire action is to desire limitation. In that sense, every act is an act of self-sacrifice. When you choose anything, you reject everything else (Gilbert K Chesterton Quotes)
If I think the universe is triangular, and you think it is square, there cannot be room for two universes. We may argue politely, we may argue humanely, we may argue with great mutual benefit: but, obviously, we must argue (Gilbert K Chesterton Quotes)
We are all ordinary people. And it’s the extraordinary people Who know it (Gilbert K Chesterton Quotes)
As an explanation of the world materialism has a sort of insane simplicity. It has the quality of a madman’s arguments; we have at once the sense of it covering everything and the sense of it leaving everything out (Gilbert K Chesterton Quotes)
The Party System was founded on one national notion of fair play. It was the notion that folly and futility should be fairly divided between both sides (Gilbert K Chesterton Quotes)
The mind moves by instincts, associations and premonitions and not by fixed dates or completed processes. Action and reaction will occur simultaneously: or the cause actually be found after the effect. Errors will be resisted before they have been properly promulgated: notions will be first defined long after they are dead (Gilbert K Chesterton Quotes)
We are always giving foreign names to very native things. If there is a thing that reeks of the glorious tradition of the old English tavern, it is toasted cheese. But for some wild reason we call it Welsh rarebit. I believe that what we call Irish stew might more properly be called English stew, and that it is not particularly familiar in Ireland (Gilbert K Chesterton Quotes)
‘As you have made your bed, so you must lie on it’ which again is simply a lie. If I have made my bed uncomfortable, please God I will make it again (Gilbert K Chesterton Quotes)
Experience which was once claimed by the aged is now claimed exclusively by the young (Gilbert K Chesterton Quotes)
Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged. (Gilbert K Chesterton Quotes)
Whatever else we may say of our own age, for good or evil, nobody is likely to call it an Age of Reason. (Gilbert K Chesterton Quotes)
The aim of life is appreciation; there is no sense in not appreciating things; and there is no sense in having more of them if you have less appreciation of them. (Gilbert K Chesterton Quotes)
When you have really exhausted an experience you always reverence and love it (Gilbert K Chesterton Quotes)
If an editor can only make people angry enough, they will write half his newspaper for him for nothing. (Gilbert K Chesterton Quotes)
If Christianity should happen to be true - that is to say, if its God is the real God of the universe - then defending it may mean talking about anything and everything. (Gilbert K Chesterton Quotes)
Architecture approaches nearer than any other art to being irrevocable because it is so difficult to get rid of. (Gilbert K Chesterton Quotes)
