There are no wise few. Every aristocracy that has ever existed has behaved, in all essential points, exactly like a small mob.
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
Modern man is educated to understand foreign languages and misunderstand foreigners.
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
The most valuable book we can read, about countries we have visited, is that which recalls to us something that we did notice, but did not notice that we noticed.
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
As for the general view that the Church was discredited by the War—they might as well say that the Ark was discredited by the Flood. When the world goes wrong, it proves rather that the Church is right. The Church is justified, not because her children do not sin, but because they do.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Where does a wise man hide a leaf? In the forest. But what does he do if there is no forest? He grows a forest to hide it in.
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
A man does not know what he is saying until he knows what he is not saying.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Realism is simply Romanticism that has lost its reason...that is its reason for existing.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The artistic temperament is a disease that afflicts amateurs. It is a disease which arises from men no having sufficient power of expression to utter and get rid of the element of art in their being.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
An almost unnatural vigilance is really required of the citizen because of the horrible rapidity with which human institutions grow old.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The decay of society is praised by artists as the decay of a corpse is praised by worms.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Poets do not go mad, but chess players do.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
I do not believe that any human being is fundamentally happier for being finally lost in a crowd, even if it is called a crowd of comrades.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
It is very good for a man to talk about what he does not understand as long as he understands that he does not understand it.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Truths turn into dogmas the instant that they are disputed. Thus every man who utters a doubt defines a religion.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
She had never really listened to anyone in her life which, some said, was why she had survived.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
We can be almost certain of being wrong about the future, if we are wrong about the past.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
