More quotes by Hilaire Belloc
Slowly but certainly the proletarian, by every political reform which secures his well-being under new rules of insurance, of State control in education, of State medicine and the rest, is developing into the slave, leaving the rich man apart and free. All industrial civilization is clearly moving towards the re-establishment of the Servile State.
Hilaire Belloc
But if I be asked what sign we may look for to show that the advance of the faith is at hand I would answer by a word the modern world has forgotten: Persecution. When that shall once more be at work it will be morning.
Hilaire Belloc
Every major question in history is a religious question. It has more effect in molding life than nationalism or a common language.
Hilaire Belloc
Loss and possession, death and life are one, There falls no shadow where there shines no sun.
Hilaire Belloc
Before the curse of statistics fell upon mankind we lived a happy, innocent life, full of merriment and go and informed by fairly good judgment.
Hilaire Belloc
I'm tired of love I'm still more tired of rhyme but money gives me pleasure all the time.
Hilaire Belloc
The Church is a perpetually defeated thing that always outlives her conquerers.

[A]lways keep a-hold of Nurse For fear of finding something worse
Hilaire Belloc
In soft deluding lies let fools delight. A shadow marks our days, which end in Night.
Hilaire Belloc
And the men that were boys when I was a boy Shall sit and drink with me.
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
Any subject can be made interesting, and therefore any subject can be made boring.
Hilaire Belloc
Here richly, with ridiculous display, The Politician's corpse was laid away. While all of his acquaintance sneered and slanged I wept: for I had longed to see him hanged.
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
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
All men have an instinct for conflict: at least, all healthy men.
Hilaire Belloc
There are few greater temptations on earth than to stay permanently at Oxford in meditation, and to read all the books in the Bodlean.
Hilaire Belloc
The term Socialism becomes a common label for the various theories of attack upon the principle of property, the various policies of communal control at the expense of the family and individual freedom.
Hilaire Belloc
I am writing a book about the Crusades so dull that I can scarcely write it.
Hilaire Belloc
The Rich arrived in pairs And also in Rolls Royces They talked of their affairs In loud and strident voices... The Poor arrived in Fords, Whose features they resembled They laughed to see so many Lords And Ladies all assembled. The People in Between Looked underdone and harassed, And our of place and mean, And Horribly embarrassed.
