More quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
...It's natural to believe in the supernatural. It never feels natural to accept only natural things.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Hope means hoping when things are hopeless, or it is no virtue at all. And faith means believing the incredible, or it is no virtue at all.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The golden age only comes to men when they have forgotten gold.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
All architecture is great architecture after sunset.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Thinking in isolation and with pride ends in being an idiot.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
What was wonderful about childhood is that anything in it was a wonder. It was not merely a world full of miracles it was a miraculous world.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The grinding power of the plain words of the Gospel story is like the power of mill-stones, and those who can read them simply enough will feel as if rocks had been rolled upon them.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly. Never forget that the devil fell by force of gravity. He who has the faith has the fun.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Odd, isn't it, that a thief and a vagabond should repent, when so many who are rich and secure remain hard and frivolous, and without fruit for God or man?
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Tolerance is the virtue of those who don't believe anything.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The truth is, of course, that the curtness of the Ten Commandments is an evidence, not of the gloom and narrowness of a religion, but, on the contrary, of its liberality and humanity. It is shorter to state the things forbidden than the things permitted precisely because most things are permitted, and only a few things are forbidden.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The average woman is at the head of something with which she can do as she likes the average man has to obey orders and do nothing else.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The wise old fairy tales never were so silly as to say that the prince and the princess lived peacefully ever afterwards. The fairy tales said that the prince and princess lived happily ever afterwards and so they did. They lived happily, although it is very likely that from time to time they threw the furniture at each other.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
It has been often said, very truly, that religion is the thing that makes the ordinary man feel extraordinary it is an equally important truth that religion is the thing that makes the extraordinary man feel ordinary.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
I don't need a church to tell me I'm wrong where I already know I'm wrong I need a Church to tell me I'm wrong where I think I'm right
Gilbert K. Chesterton
A crown of roses is also a crown of thorns.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Our digestions, going sacredly and silently right, that is the foundation of all poetry.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Some of the most frantic lies on the face of life are told with modesty and restraint for the simple reason that only modesty and restraint will save them.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
I think the oddest thing about the advanced people is that, while they are always talking about things as problems, they have hardly any notion of what a real problem is.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The thing that cannot be defined is the first thing the primary fact.
