More quotes by 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
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
Oh, you should never, never doubt what nobody is sure about.
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
Oh, my friends, be warned by me, That breakfast, dinner, lunch and tea, Are all human frame requires.
Hilaire Belloc
I said to Heart, How goes it? Heart replied: Right as a Ribstone Pippin! But it lied.
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
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
The Microbe is so very small You cannot make him out at all, But many sanguine people hope To see him through a microscope.
Hilaire Belloc
How slow the shadow creeps: but when 'tis past How fast the shadows fall. How fast! How fast!
Hilaire Belloc
It is sometimes necessary to lie damnably in the interests of the nation.
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
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
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
It is the best of all trades, to make songs, and the second best to sing them.
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
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
We cannot make owners by merely giving men something to own. And, I repeat, whether there be sufficient desire for property left upon which we can work, only experience can decide.
Hilaire Belloc
Dear Grandmamma, with what we give. We humbly pray that you may live. For many, many happy years: Although you bore us all to tears.
Hilaire Belloc
