More quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
A naked moon stood in a naked sky.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Jesus promised his disciples three things—that they would be completely fearless, absurdly happy, and in constant trouble.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The disadvantage of men not knowing the past is that they do not know the present.
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
Man is not merely an evolution but rather a revolution.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Great truths can only be forgotten and can never be falsified.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
I believe what really happens in history is this: the old man is always wrong and the young people are always wrong about what is wrong with him. The practical form it takes is this: that, while the old man may stand by some stupid custom, the young man always attacks it with some theory that turns out to be equally stupid.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Christian Science … is the direct denial both of science and of Christianity, for Science rests wholly on the recognition of truth and Christianity on the recognition of pain.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
One pleasure attached to growing older is that many things seem to be growing younger growing fresher and more lively than we once supposed them to be.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The strangest whim has seized me ... After all I think I will not hang myself today.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Atheism is too theological.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
People have fallen into a foolish habit of speaking of orthodoxy as something heavy, humdrum, and safe. There never was anything so perilous or so exciting as orthodoxy. It was sanity: and to be sane is more dramatic than to be mad.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Marriage is a duel to the death which no man of honour should decline.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Christendom has had a series of revolutions and in each one of them Christianity has died. Christianity has died many times and risen again for it had a God who knew the way out of the grave.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Wait and see whether the religion of the Servile State is not in every case what I say: the encouragement of small virtues supporting capitalism, the discouragement of the huge virtues that defy it.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
He must not merely cling to life, for then he will be a coward, and will not escape. He must not merely wait for death, for then he will be a suicide, and will not escape. He must seek his life in a spirit of furious indifference to it.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Man does not live by soap alone and hygiene, or even health, is not much good unless you can take a healthy view of it or, better still, feel a healthy indifference to it.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Gratitude, being nearly the greatest of human duties, is also nearly the most difficult.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
By all men bond to Nothing, Being slaves without a lord, By one blind idiot world obeyed, Too blind to be abhorred.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
A man cannot deserve adventures he cannot earn dragons and hippogriffs.
