The world will never starve for want of wonders but only for want of wonder.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
A stiff apology is a second insult... The injured party does not want to be compensated because he has been wronged he wants to be healed because he has been hurt.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
There should be a burnished tablet let into the ground on the spot where some courageous man first ate Stilton cheese, and survived.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The pure modernist is merely a snob he cannot bear to be a month behind the fashion.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Evil comes at leisure like the disease. Good comes in a hurry like the doctor.
Gilbert K. Chesterton

Gilbert K. Chesterton
One of the great disadvantages of hurry is that it takes such a long time.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Ritual will always mean throwing away something: destroying our corn or wine upon the altar of our gods.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The great ideals of the past failed not by being outlived (which must mean over-lived), but by not being lived enough. Mankind has not passed through the Middle Ages. Rather mankind has retreated from the Middle Ages in reaction and rout. The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult and left untried.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The humorous look of children is perhaps the most endearing of all the bonds that hold the Cosmos together.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The true savage is a slave, and is always talking about what he must do the true civilised man is a free man, and is always talking about what he may do.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The only object of liberty is life.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Men always talk about the most important things to perfect strangers.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
There is no bigot like the atheist.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
People have fallen into a foolish habit of speaking of orthodoxy as something heavy, humdrum, and safe. There never was anything so perilous or so exciting as orthodoxy. It was sanity: and to be sane is more dramatic than to be mad.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
