More quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
Gratitude, being nearly the greatest of human duties, is also nearly the most difficult.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
It is customary to complain of the bustle and strenuousness of our epoch. But in truth the chief mark of our epoch is a profound laziness and fatigue and the fact is that the real laziness is the cause of the apparent bustle.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Brave men are all vertebrates they have their softness on the surface and their toughness in the middle.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
There is no obligation on us to be richer, or busier, or more efficient, or more productive, or more progressive, or any way worldlier or wealthier, if it does not make us happier.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The true object of human life is play.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly. Never forget that the devil fell by force of gravity. He who has the faith has the fun.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
All men are ordinary men the extraordinary men are those who know it.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
We are all ordinary people. And it's the extraordinary people Who know it.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
It is absurd for the Evolutionist to complain that it is unthinkable for an admittedly unthinkable God to make everything out of nothing and then pretend that it is more thinkable that nothing should turn itself into everything.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
By experts in poverty I do not mean sociologists, but poor men.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Variability is one of the virtues of a woman. It avoids the crude requirement of polygamy. So long as you have one good wife you are sure to have a spiritual harem.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
He had found the thing which the modern people call Impressionism, which is another name for that final scepticism which can find no floor to the universe.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Life is serious all the time, but living cannot be. You may have all the solemnity you wish in your neckties, but in anything important (such as sex, death, and religion), you must have mirth or you will have madness.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
I may not practice what I preach but God forbid I should preach what I practice
Gilbert K. Chesterton
One can hardly think too little of one's self. One can hardly think too much of one's soul.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Comradeship is quite a different thing from friendship. . .
Gilbert K. Chesterton
I tell you naught for your comfort, Yea, naught for your desire, Save that the sky grows darker yet And the sea rises higher.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
If the devil tells you something is too fearful to look at, look at it. If he says something is too terrible to hear, hear it. If you think some truth unbearable, bear it.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Marriage is a duel to the death which no man of honour should decline.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly.
