More quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
You have not wasted your time you have helped to save the world. We are not buffoons, but very desperate men at war with a vast conspiracy.
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
It was the people who did not care who filled the world with fire and oppression. It was the hands of the indifferent that lit the faggots it was the hands of the indifferent that turned the rack.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
It is really not so repulsive to see the poor asking for money as to see the rich asking for more money. And advertisement is the rich asking for more money.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Most Americans ... have a sort of permanent intoxication from within, a sort of invisible champagne.
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
Man must have just enough faith in himself to have adventures, and just enough doubt of himself to enjoy them.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Modern man is educated to understand foreign languages and misunderstand foreigners.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
My life is passed in making bad jokes and seeing them turn into true prophecies.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
I believe your own accent is inimitable, though I shall practice it in my bath.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The best kind of giving is thanksgiving.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The books that influence the world are those that it has not read.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
A good novel tells us the truth about its hero but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
If the devil tells you something is too fearful to look at, look at it. If he says something is too terrible to hear, hear it. If you think some truth unbearable, bear it.
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
Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
There is no great harm in the theorist who makes up a new theory to fit a new event. But the theorist who starts with a false theory and then sees everything as making it come true is the most dangerous enemy of human reason.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
If you know what a man's doing, get in front of him but if you want to guess what he's doing keep behind him.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Gratitude, being nearly the greatest of human duties, is also nearly the most difficult.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
America has a new delicacy, a coarse, rank refinement.
