More quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
The moderns do not realize modernity.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
To be simple is the best thing in the world to be modest is the next best thing. I am not sure about being quiet.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Man is not merely an evolution but rather a revolution.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Religious unity can look like a carnival and religious liberty can look like a funeral.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Any one of the strange laws we suffer is a compromise between a fad and a vested interest.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Political Economy means that everybody except politicians must be economical.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Atheism is too theological.
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
The mind moves by instincts, associations and premonitions and not by fixed dates or completed processes. Action and reaction will occur simultaneously: or the cause actually be found after the effect. Errors will be resisted before they have been properly promulgated: notions will be first defined long after they are dead.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
All good men are international. Nearly all bad men are cosmopolitan. If we are to be international we must be national.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
A strange fanaticism fills our time: the fanatical hatred of morality, especially of Christian morality.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Facts by themselves can often feed the flame of madness, because sanity is a spirit.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
We have not made cricket and football [soccer] professional because of any astonishing avarice or new vulgarity. We have made them professional because we would have them perfect. We have dedicated men to them as to some god of inhuman excellence. We care more for football than for the fun of playing football.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Children are grateful when Santa Claus puts in their stockings gifts of toys or sweets. Could I not be grateful to Santa Claus when he put in my stockings the gift of two miraculous legs? We thank people for birthday presents of cigars and slippers. Can I thank no one for the birthday present of birth?
Gilbert K. Chesterton
He may be mad, but there's method in his madness. There nearly always is method in madness. It's what drives men mad, being methodical.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
We do not need to get good laws to restrain bad people. We need to get good people to restrain us from bad laws.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The men of the East may spell the stars, And times and triumphs mark, But the men signed of the cross of Christ Go gaily in the dark.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
There are no new lies, no new heresies. Man is simply not that creative.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The perplexity of life arises from there being too many interesting things in it for us to be interested properly in any of them.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Only man can be absurd: for only man can be dignified.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
