Gilbert K. Chesterton

It is good for us to be here - it is good for us to be here, repeating itself eternally.
Gilbert K. Chesterton

Gilbert K. Chesterton
Half a truth is better than no politics.
Gilbert K. Chesterton

Gilbert K. Chesterton
Odd, isn't it, that a thief and a vagabond should repent, when so many who are rich and secure remain hard and frivolous, and without fruit for God or man?
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Let your religion be less of a theory and more of a love affair.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
It is human to err and the only final and deadly error, among all our errors, is denying that we have ever erred.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Thanks are the highest form of thought.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
There are no new ideas about female education.
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
Christian Science … is the direct denial both of science and of Christianity, for Science rests wholly on the recognition of truth and Christianity on the recognition of pain.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
