Gilbert K. Chesterton
I am not absentminded. It is the presence of mind that makes me unaware of everything else.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The professional soldier gains more and more power as the general courage of a community declines.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Happy is he who still loves something he loved in the nursery: He has not been broken in two by time he is not two men, but one, and he has saved not only his soul but his life.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The purpose of Compulsory Education is to deprive the common people of their commonsense.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
With any recovery from morbidity there must go a certain healthy humiliation.
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.
