Gilbert K. Chesterton

Gilbert K. Chesterton
A man cannot deserve adventures he cannot earn dragons and hippogriffs.

Gilbert K. Chesterton
We have not made cricket and football [soccer] professional because of any astonishing avarice or new vulgarity. We have made them professional because we would have them perfect. We have dedicated men to them as to some god of inhuman excellence. We care more for football than for the fun of playing football.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The perplexity of life arises from there being too many interesting things in it for us to be interested properly in any of them.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Political Economy means that everybody except politicians must be economical.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
History is not a toboggan slide, but a road to be reconsidered and even retraced
Gilbert K. Chesterton

Gilbert K. Chesterton
