Gilbert K. Chesterton
America is the only country ever founded on a creed.
Gilbert K. Chesterton

Gilbert K. Chesterton
Tolerance is a virtue of people who don't believe in anything anymore.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Bigotry may be roughly defined as the anger of men who have no opinions.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
