Gilbert K. Chesterton
To be simple is the best thing in the world to be modest is the next best thing. I am not sure about being quiet.

Gilbert K. Chesterton
Why be something to everybody when you can be everything to somebody?
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Physical science is like simple addition: it is either infallible or it is false.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
There is only one thing certain and that is that nothing is certain
Gilbert K. Chesterton
No man must be superior to the things that are common to men.... Not only are we all in the same boat, but we are all seasick.
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
The decay of society is praised by artists as the decay of a corpse is praised by worms.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The man who kills a man kills a man. The man who kills himself kills all men. As far as he is concerned, he wipes out the world.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
If you know what a man's doing, get in front of him but if you want to guess what he's doing keep behind him.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Without education we are in a horrible and deadly danger of taking educated people seriously.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
