Hilaire Belloc
I said to Heart, How goes it? Heart replied: Right as a Ribstone Pippin! But it lied.
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

Hilaire Belloc
Just as there is nothing between the admirable omelet and the intolerable, so with autobiography.
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
