There is a great deal of difference between an eager man who wants to read a book and the tired man who wants a book to read.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

There is but an inch of difference between a cushioned chamber and a padded cell.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

Women prefer to talk in twos,...

Women prefer to talk in twos, while men prefer to talk in threes.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

Youth is the period in which ...

Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged.

I regard golf as an expensive way of playing marbles.

I was planning to go into architecture. But when I arrived, architecture was filled up. Acting was right next to it, so I signed up for acting instead.

The mere brute pleasure of reading the sort of pleasure a cow must have in grazing.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

In matters of truth the fact ...

In matters of truth the fact that you don't want to publish something is, nine times out of ten, a proof that you ought to publish it.

The most dangerous criminal now is the entirely lawless modern philosopher. Compared to him, burglars and bigamists are essentially moral men.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

Men always talk about the mos...

Men always talk about the most important things to perfect strangers. In the perfect stranger we perceive man himself; the image of a God is not disguised by resemblances to an uncle or doubts of wisdom of a mustache.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

Chastity does not mean absten...

Chastity does not mean abstention from sexual wrong; it means something flaming, like Joan of Arc.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

Being 'contented' ought to me...

Being 'contented' ought to mean in English, as it does in French, being pleased. Being content with an attic ought not to mean being unable to move from it and resigned to living in it; it ought to mean appreciating all there is in such a position.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

The poor have sometimes objec...

The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

Brave men are all vertebrates...

Brave men are all vertebrates; they have their softness on the surface and their toughness in the middle.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

All architecture is great architecture after sunset; perhaps architecture is really a nocturnal art, like the art of fireworks.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

Thieves respect property. The...

Thieves respect property. They merely wish the property to become their property that they may more perfectly respect it.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

No man who worships education...

No man who worships education has got the best out of education... Without a gentle contempt for education no man's education is complete.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

If I had only one sermon to preach it would be a sermon against pride.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

Fable is more historical than fact, because fact tells us about one man and fable tells us about a million men.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

Once I planned to write a book of poems entirely about the things in my pocket. But I found it would be too long; and the age of the great epics is past.
