More quotes by 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
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

Hilaire Belloc
Kings live in Palaces, and Pigs in sties, And youth in Expectation. Youth is wise.
Hilaire Belloc
If we do not restore the Institution of Property we cannot escape restoring the Institution of Slavery there is no third course.

To refuse man the opportunity for the production of wealth is to refuse him the opportunity for life and, in general, the way in which the production of wealth is by law permitted is the only way in which the citizens can legally exist.
Hilaire Belloc

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

Hilaire Belloc
The grace of God is courtesy.
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
Statistics are the triumph of the quantitative method, and the quantitative method is the victory of sterility and death.
Hilaire Belloc
I forget the name of the place I forget the name of the girl but the wine was Chambertin.
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
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
I have wandered all my life, and I have also traveled the difference between the two being this, that we wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment.
Hilaire Belloc
All men have an instinct for conflict: at least, all healthy men.
