More quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
We are all ordinary people. And it's the extraordinary people Who know it.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
There are no uninteresting things, only uninterested people.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The true object of human life is play.
Gilbert K. Chesterton

Gilbert K. Chesterton
Ingratitude is surely the chief of the intellectual sins of man. He takes his political benefits for granted, just as he takes the skies and the seasons for granted.
Gilbert K. Chesterton

Gilbert K. Chesterton
If I think the universe is triangular, and you think it is square, there cannot be room for two universes. We may argue politely, we may argue humanely, we may argue with great mutual benefit: but, obviously, we must argue.
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
Brave men are all vertebrates they have their softness on the surface and their toughness in the middle.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Christmas is built upon a beautiful and intentional paradox that the birth of the homeless should be celebrated in every home.
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
Most Americans are born drunk, and really require a little wine or beer to sober them.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Music with dinner is an insult both to the cook and the violinist.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The disadvantage of men not knowing the past is that they do not know the present.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Modern toleration is really a tyranny. It is a tyranny because it is a silence.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
A good man's work is effected by doing what he does, a woman's by being what she is.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
He walked by instinct along one white road, on which early birds hopped and sang, and found himself outside a fenced garden. There he saw the sister of Gregory, the girl with the gold-red hair, cutting lilac before breakfast, with the great unconscious gravity of a girl.
