More quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
The way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Science boasts of the distance of its stars of the terrific remoteness of the things of which it has to speak. But poetry and religion always insist upon the proximity, the almost menacing closeness of the things with which they are concerned. Always the Kingdom of Heaven is At Hand.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
A good joke is the closest thing we have to divine revelation.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Democracy is like blowing your nose. You may not do it well, but it's something you ought to do yourself.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Marriage is an adventure, like going to war.
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
We are all ordinary people. And it's the extraordinary people Who know it.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
At the bottom of all the tributes paid to democracy is the little man, walking into the little booth, with a little pencil, making a little cross on a little bit of paper. . . .
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Fairy tales are more than true.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The full potentialities of human fury cannot be reached until a friend of both parties tactfully intervenes.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
I came to the conclusion that the optimist thought everything good except the pessimist, and that the pessimist thought everything bad, except himself.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Marriage is a duel to the death which no man of honour should decline.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
There are no words to express the abyss between isolation and having one ally.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The whole curse of the last century has been what is called the Swing of the Pendulum that is, the idea that Man must go alternately from one extreme to the other. It is a shameful and even shocking fancy it is the denial of the whole dignity of the mankind. When Man is alive he stands still. It is only when he is dead that he swings.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Brave men are all vertebrates they have their softness on the surface and their toughness in the middle.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Art is the signature of man.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The supreme adventure is being BORN
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Comradeship is quite a different thing from friendship. . .
Gilbert K. Chesterton
When you break the big laws, you do not get liberty you do not even get anarchy. You get the small laws.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
We do not want, as the newspapers say, a church that will move with the world. We want a church that will move the world.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
