More quotes by Hilaire Belloc
In soft deluding lies let fools delight. A shadow marks our days, which end in Night.
Hilaire Belloc
When friendship disappears then there is a space left open to that awful loneliness of the outside world which is like the cold space between the planets. It is an air in which men perish utterly.
Hilaire Belloc
Oh, my friends, be warned by me, That breakfast, dinner, lunch and tea, Are all human frame requires.
Hilaire Belloc
The gentleman is generous and treats all men as his equals, especially those whom he feels to be inferior in rank and wealth.
Hilaire Belloc
Is there no Latin word for Tea? Upon my soul, if I had known that I would have let the vulgar stuff alone.
Hilaire Belloc
That I grow sour, who only lack delight That I descend to sneer, who only grieve: That from my depth I should contemn your height That with my blame my mockery you receive Huntress and splendour of the woodland night, Diana of this world, do not believe.
Hilaire Belloc
Ownership is not a general feature of our society, determining its character. On the contrary, dependence on a precarious wage at the will of others is the general feature of our society.
Hilaire Belloc
If any man gives you a wine you can't bear, don't say it is beastly... But don't say you like it. You are endangering your soul and the use of wine as well... Seek out some other wine good to your taste.
Hilaire Belloc
There is no one who has cooked but has discovered that each particular dish depends for its rightness upon some little point which he is never told. It is not only so of cooking: it is so of splicing a rope of painting a surface of wood of mixing mortar of almost anything you like to name among the immemorial human arts.
Hilaire Belloc
Put you hand before your eyes and remember, you that have walked, the places from which you have walked away, and the wilderness into which you manfully turned the steps of your abandonment ... It is your business to leave all that you have know altogether behind you, and no man has eyes at the back of his head - go forward.
Hilaire Belloc
I'm tired of love I'm still more tired of rhyme but money gives me pleasure all the time.
Hilaire Belloc
I am a Catholic. As far as possible, I go to Mass every day. This is a rosary. As far as possible, I kneel down and tell these beads every day. If you reject me on account of my religion, I shall thank God that He has spared me the indignity of being your representative.
Hilaire Belloc
The grace of God is courtesy.
Hilaire Belloc
Loss and possession, death and life are one, There falls no shadow where there shines no sun.
Hilaire Belloc
Writing itself is a bad enough trade, rightly held up to ridicule and contempt by the greater part of mankind, and especially by those who do real work, plowing, riding, sailing
Hilaire Belloc
If antiquity be the only test of nobility, then cheese is a very noble thing ... The lineage of cheese is demonstrably beyond all record.
Hilaire Belloc
I said to Heart, How goes it? Heart replied: Right as a Ribstone Pippin! But it lied.
Hilaire Belloc
And the men that were boys when I was a boy Shall sit and drink with me.
Hilaire Belloc
Just as there is nothing between the admirable omelet and the intolerable, so with autobiography.
Hilaire Belloc
For no one, in our long decline, So dusty, spiteful and divided, Had quite such pleasant friends as mine, Or loved them half as much as I did.
Hilaire Belloc
