More quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
A crown of roses is also a crown of thorns.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Acceptance is the truest kinship with humanity.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Destiny is but a phrase of the weak human heart - the dark apology for every error. The strong and virtuous admit no destiny. On earth conscience guides in heaven God watches. And destiny is but the phantom we invoke to silence the one and dethrone the other.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly.
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
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
The difficulty of explaining ‘why I am a Catholic’ is that there are ten thousand reasons all amounting to one reason: that Catholicism is true.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Those who leave the tradition of truth do not escape into something which we call Freedom. They only escape into something else, which we call Fashion.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Men feel that cruelty to the poor is a kind of cruelty to animals. They never feel that it is an injustice to equals nay it is treachery to comrades.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.
Gilbert K. Chesterton

Gilbert K. Chesterton
The beautification of the world is not a work of nature, but a work of art, then it involves an artist.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The modern world is a crowd of very rapid racing cars all brought to a standstill and stuck in a block of traffic.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The humorous look of children is perhaps the most endearing of all the bonds that hold the Cosmos together.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
There are many books which we think we have read when we have not. There are, at least, many that we think we remember when we do not. An original picture was, perhaps, imprinted upon the brain, but it has changed with our own changing minds. We only remember our remembrance.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Evil comes at leisure like the disease. Good comes in a hurry like the doctor.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
A man does not know what he is saying until he knows what he is not saying.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
You never know the best about men until you know the worst about them.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
When you break the big laws, you do not get liberty you do not even get anarchy. You get the small laws.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
I regard golf as an expensive way of playing marbles.
