More quotes by 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
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'm tired of love I'm still more tired of rhyme but money gives me pleasure all the time.
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
Loss and possession, death and life are one, There falls no shadow where there shines no sun.
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
Under the old philosophy which had governed the high Middle Ages things had been everywhere towards a condition of Society in which property was well distributed throughout the community, and thus the family rendered independent.
Hilaire Belloc
Statistics are the triumph of the quantitative method, and the quantitative method is the victory of sterility and death.
Hilaire Belloc
Of courtesy, it is much less Than courage of heart or holiness, Yet in my walks it seems to me That the Grace of God is in courtesy.
Hilaire Belloc
I put my pencil upon the paper, doubtfully, and drew little lines, considering my theme. But I would not long hesitate in this manner, for I knew that all creation must be chaos first, and then gestures in the void before it can cast out the completed thing.
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.
Hilaire Belloc
The control of the production of wealth is the control of human life itself.
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
The choice lies between property on the one hand and slavery, public or private, on the other. There is no third issue.
Hilaire Belloc
The grace of God is courtesy.
Hilaire Belloc
An institute run with such knavish imbecility that if it were not the work of God it would not last a fortnight.

[A]lways keep a-hold of Nurse For fear of finding something worse
Hilaire Belloc
The Church is a perpetually defeated thing that always outlives her conquerers.
Hilaire Belloc
Matilda told such dreadful lies, It made one gasp and stretch one's eyes Her aunt, who, from her earliest youth, Had kept a strict regard for truth, Attempted to believe Matilda The effort very nearly killed her.
Hilaire Belloc
Any subject can be made interesting, and therefore any subject can be made boring.
