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
And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Women prefer to talk in twos, while men prefer to talk in threes.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The Museum is not meant either for the wanderer to see by accident or for the pilgrim to see with awe. It is meant for the mere slave of a routine of self- education to stuff himself with every sort of incongruous intellectual food in one indigestible meal.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Journalism largely consists of saying 'Lord Jones is Dead' to people who never knew that Lord Jones was alive.
Gilbert K. Chesterton

Gilbert K. Chesterton
It is quite an old-fashioned fallacy to suppose that our objection to scepticism is that it removes the discipline from life. Our objection to scepticism is that it removes the motive power. Materialism is not a thing which destroys mere restraint. Materialism itself is the great restraint.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Religious unity can look like a carnival and religious liberty can look like a funeral.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Lord! what a strange world in which a man cannot remain unique even by taking the trouble to go mad!
Gilbert K. Chesterton

Gilbert K. Chesterton
Lying in bed would be an altogether perfect and supreme experience if only one had a colored pencil long enough to draw on the ceiling.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Education is the period during which you are being instructed by somebody you do not know, about something you do not want to know.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The objection to fairy stories is that they tell children there are dragons. But children have always known there are dragons. Fairy stories tell children that dragons can be killed.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Truths turn into dogmas the minute they are disputed.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Well, if I am not drunk, I am mad, replied Syme with perfect calm but I trust I can behave like a gentleman in either condition.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
When a politician is in opposition he is an expert on the means to some end and when he is in office he is an expert on the obstacles to it.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
A modern man may disapprove of some of his sweeping reforms, and approve others but finds it difficult not to admire even where he does not approve.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
There are a great many good people, and a great many sane people here this afternoon. Unfortunately, by a kind of coincidence, all the good people are mad, and all the sane people are wicked.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Saint George he was for England, And before he killed the dragon he drank a pint of English ale out of an English flagon.
