CIVILISATION is not to be jud...

CIVILISATION is not to be judged by the rapidity of communication, but by the value of what is communicated.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

The whole modern world has di...

The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of Conservatives is to prevent mistakes from being corrected.

The modern habit of saying "T...

The modern habit of saying "This is my opinion, but I may be wrong" is entirely irrational. If I say that it may be wrong, I say that is not my opinion. The modern habit of saying "Every man has a different philosophy; this is my philosophy and it suits me" – the habit of saying this is mere weak-mindedness. A cosmic philosophy is not constructed to fit a man; a cosmic philosophy is constructed to fit a cosmos. A man can no more possess a private religion than he can possess a private sun and moon.

The more I considered Christianity, the more I found that while it had established a rule and order, the chief aim of that order was to give room for good things to run wild.

But the truth is that it is only by believing in God that we can ever criticise the Government. Once abolish the God, and the Government becomes the God.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

I have known many happy marriages, but never a compatible one. The whole aim of marriage is to fight through and survive the instant when incompatibility becomes unquestionable. For a man and a woman, as such, are incompatible.

God is like the sun; you cannot look at it, but without it you cannot look at anything else.

Do not be so open-minded that your brains fall out.

Moral issues are always terribly complex for someone without principles.

The most incredible thing about miracles is that they happen.

We do not need a censorship of the press. We have a censorship by the press... It is not we who silence the press. It is the press who silences us.

It [feminism] is mixed up with a muddled idea that women are free when they serve their employers but slaves when they help their husbands.

You'll never find the solution if you don't see the problem.

Nothing taken for granted; everything received with gratitude; everything passed on with grace.

Right is Right even if nobody does it. Wrong is wrong even if everybody is wrong about it.

I may not practice what I preach but God forbid I should preach what I practice

On the third day the friends of Christ coming at daybreak to the place found the grave empty and the stone rolled away. In varying ways they realized the new wonder; but even they hardly realized that the world had died in the night. What they were looking at was the first day of a new creation, with a new heaven and a new earth; and in a semblance of the gardener God walked again in the garden, in the cool not of the evening but of the dawn.

Gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.

Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly. Never forget that the devil fell by force of gravity. He who has the faith has the fun.
