Gilbert K. Chesterton
The triangle of truisms, of father, mother and child, cannot be destroyed it can only destroy those civilizations which disregard it.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
We are always giving foreign names to very native things. If there is a thing that reeks of the glorious tradition of the old English tavern, it is toasted cheese.

Gilbert K. Chesterton
I believe what really happens in history is this: the old man is always wrong and the young people are always wrong about what is wrong with him.

Gilbert K. Chesterton
Why be something to everybody when you can be everything to somebody?
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Bigotry may be roughly defined as the anger of men who have no opinions.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
If there is one thing worse than the modern weakening of major morals, it is the modern strengthening of minor morals.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
