It is a mathematical fact that if a line be not perfectly directed towards a point, it will actually go further away from it as it comes nearer to it.
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
Nothing is certain by uncertainty.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
I never could see anything wrong in sensationalism and I am sure our society is suffering more from secrecy than from flamboyant revelations.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
If a man only likes victory he must always come late for the battle.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The human race is always trying this dodge of making everything entirely easy but the difficulty which it shifts off one thing it shifts to another.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Music with dinner is an insult both to the cook and the violinist.
