More quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
the object of a new year is not that we should have a new year, but rather that we should have a new soul.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Dipsomaniac and the abstainer are not only both mistaken, but they both make the same mistake. They both regard wine as a drug and not as a drink.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Christianity even when watered down is hot enough to boil all modern society to rags.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
We have all forgotten what we really are. All that we call common sense and rationality and practicality and positivism only means that for certain dead levels of our life we forget that we have forgotten. All that we call spirit and art and ecstasy only means that for one awful instant we remember that we forget.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
A man cannot deserve adventures he cannot earn dragons and hippogriffs.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Women prefer to talk in twos, while men prefer to talk in threes.
Gilbert K. Chesterton

Gilbert K. Chesterton
If a man says that he is Jesus Christ, it is no answer to tell him that the world denies his divinity for the world denied Christ's.
Gilbert K. Chesterton

Gilbert K. Chesterton
Large organization is loose organization. Nay, it would be almost as true to say that organization is always disorganization.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
It is well sometimes to half understand a poem in the same manner that we half understand the world.
Gilbert K. Chesterton

Gilbert K. Chesterton
My brain and this world don't fit each other and there's an end of it.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
If a man only likes victory he must always come late for the battle.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
There is more to life than increasing its speed. Gandhi gave my life to become the person I am right now. Was it worth it? Richard Bach Life exists for the love of music or beautiful things.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The original quality in any man of imagination is imagery.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Ideas are dangerous, but the man to whom they are least dangerous is the man of ideas. He is acquainted with ideas, and moves among them like a lion-tamer. Ideas are dangerous, but the man to whom they are most dangerous is the man of no ideas. The man of no ideas will find the first idea fly to his head like wine to the head of a teetotaller.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
According to most philosophers, God in making the world enslaved it. According to Christianity, in making it, He set it free. God had written, not so much a poem, but rather a play a play he had planned as perfect, but which had necessarily been left to human actors and stage-managers, who had since made a great mess of it.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Man is at his tallest when he bows.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Man is not merely an evolution but rather a revolution.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
