Just the other day in the Underground I enjoyed the pleasure of offering my seat to three ladies.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The paradox of courage is that a man must be a little careless of his life even in order to keep it.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Modern broad-mindedness benefits the rich and benefits nobody else.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
At least five times, with the Arian and the Albigensian, with the Humanist skeptic, after Voltaire and after Darwin, the Christian Faith has to all appearance, gone to the dogs? But, in each of these five cases, it was the dog that died.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Romance is the combination of something that is strange with something that is secure.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
