More quotes by Hilaire Belloc

Hilaire Belloc
Child! do not throw this book about Refrain from the unholy pleasure Of cutting all the pictures out! Preserve it as your chiefest treasure.
Hilaire Belloc
From quiet homes and first beginning, out to the undiscovered ends, there's nothing worth the wear of winning, but laughter and the love of friends.
Hilaire Belloc
If we do not restore the Institution of Property we cannot escape restoring the Institution of Slavery there is no third course.
Hilaire Belloc
The larger unit can borrow more easily in proportion than the smaller. It can especially tap bank credit more easily and bank credit is, to-day, the chief factor in economic activity of all kinds.
Hilaire Belloc
It is sometimes necessary to lie damnably in the interests of the nation.
Hilaire Belloc
And the men that were boys when I was a boy Shall sit and drink with me.
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
If antiquity be the only test of nobility, then cheese is a very noble thing ... The lineage of cheese is demonstrably beyond all record.
