More quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
We are all ordinary people. And it's the extraordinary people Who know it.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
It is the beginning of all true criticism of our time to realize that it has really nothing to say, at the very moment when it has invented so tremendous a trumpet for saying it.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The doctrine of human equality reposes on this: that there is no man really clever who has not found that he is stupid.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
As for the general view that the Church was discredited by the War—they might as well say that the Ark was discredited by the Flood. When the world goes wrong, it proves rather that the Church is right. The Church is justified, not because her children do not sin, but because they do.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
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
If the devil tells you something is too fearful to look at, look at it. If he says something is too terrible to hear, hear it. If you think some truth unbearable, bear it.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Savages and modern artists are alike strangely driven to create something uglier than themselves. but the artists find it harder.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Correctitude implies nowadays a formal or fastidious use of words and what is wanted is not so much the correct as the living use of words. It is the memory of the meaning of a word which is the life of the word.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
'My country, right or wrong' is a thing no patriot would ever think of saying except in a desperate case. It is like saying 'My mother, drunk or sober.'
Gilbert K. Chesterton
You never know the best about men until you know the worst about them.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
When a person has found something which he prefers to life itself, he for the first time has begun to live.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
There is only one thing certain and that is that nothing is certain
Gilbert K. Chesterton
There cannot be a nation of millionaires, and there never has been a nation of Utopian comrades but there have been any number of nations of tolerably contented peasants.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
A strange fanaticism fills our time: the fanatical hatred of morality, especially of Christian morality.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
One can no more have a private religion than one can have a private sun or a private moon.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
When you with velvets mantled o'er, Defy December's tempests frore, Oh! spare one garment from your store, To clothe the poor at Christmas.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
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
The true object of human life is play.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Half a truth is better than no politics.
