Gilbert K. Chesterton
Men in England are ruled, at this minute by the clock, by brutes who refuse them bread, by liars who refuse them news, and by fools who cannot govern, and therefore wish to enslave.
Gilbert K. Chesterton

Gilbert K. Chesterton
The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies probably because they are generally the same people.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
It's not the world that's got so much worse but the news coverage that's got so much better.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The eagle has no liberty he only has loneliness.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
All real democracy is an attempt like that of a jolly hostess to bring the shy people out.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
What people call impartiality may simply mean indifference, and what people call partiality may simply mean mental activity.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
How quickly revolutions grow old and, worse still, respectable.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost.
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
To be simple is the best thing in the world.
