The home is not the one tame place in the world of adventure. It is the one wild place in the world of rules and set tasks.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Those thinkers who cannot believe in any gods often assert that the love of humanity would be in itself sufficient for them and so, perhaps, it would, if they had it.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
In the modern conflict between the Smile and the Laugh, I am all in favor of laughing. The recent stage of culture and criticism might very well be summed up as the men who smile criticizing the men who laugh.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Thieves respect property. They merely wish the property to become their property that they may more perfectly respect it.

Vigorous organisms talk not about their processes, but about their aims.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The mind moves by instincts, associations and premonitions and not by fixed dates or completed processes. Action and reaction will occur simultaneously: or the cause actually be found after the effect. Errors will be resisted before they have been properly promulgated: notions will be first defined long after they are dead.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The old assumption of the approximate impossibility of war really rested on a similar assumption about the impossibility of evil-and especially of evil in high places.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Silver is sometimes more valuable than gold, that is, in large quantities.
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
The more we are proud that the Bethlehem story is plain enough to be understood by the shepherds, and almost by the sheep, the more do we let ourselves go, in dark and gorgeous imaginative frescoes or pageants about the mystery and majesty of the Three Magian Kings.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
A crown of roses is also a crown of thorns.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
