The Reformer is always right ...

The Reformer is always right about what's wrong. However, he's often wrong about what is right.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

Tolerance is the virtue of those who don't believe anything.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

The Darwinian movement has ma...

The Darwinian movement has made no difference to mankind, except that, instead of talking unphilosophically about philosophy, they now talk unscientifically about science.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

The whole secret of mysticism...

The whole secret of mysticism is this: that man can understand everything by the help of something he cannot understand.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

Those who leave the tradition...

Those who leave the tradition of truth do not escape into something which we call Freedom. They only escape into something else, which we call Fashion.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

One must somehow find a way of loving the world without trusting it; somehow one must love the world without being worldly.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

We do not need to get good la...

We do not need to get good laws to restrain bad people. We need to get good people to restrain us from bad laws.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

The Declaration of Independen...

The Declaration of Independence dogmatically bases all rights on the fact that God created all men equal; and it is right; for if they were not created equal, they were certainly evolved unequal. There is no basis for democracy except in a dogma about the divine origin of man.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

Christendom has had a series ...

Christendom has had a series of revolutions and in each one of them Christianity has died. Christianity has died many times and risen again; for it had a God who knew the way out of the grave.

Stick to the man who looks out of the window and tries to understand the world. Keep clear of the man who looks in at the window and tries to understand you.

I still think sincere pessimism the unpardonable sin.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

I believe what really happens...

I believe what really happens in history is this: the old man is always wrong; and the young people are always wrong about what is wrong with him. The practical form it takes is this: that, while the old man may stand by some stupid custom, the young man always attacks it with some theory that turns out to be equally stupid.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

Hell is God's great complimen...

Hell is God's great compliment to the reality of human freedom and the dignity of human choice.

Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

Idolatry is committed, not me...

Idolatry is committed, not merely by setting up false gods, but also by setting up false devils; by making men afraid of war or alcohol, or economic law, when they should be afraid of spiritual corruption and cowardice.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

What embitters the world is n...

What embitters the world is not excess of criticism, but absence of self-criticism.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

Exactly at the instant when hope ceases to be reasonable it begins to be useful.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

Political Economy means that ...

Political Economy means that everybody except politicians must be economical.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

The trouble with Christianity...

The trouble with Christianity is, not that its failed, but that it's never been tried . . . not that it can't remake the world, but that it's difficult.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

An imbecile habit has arisen ...

An imbecile habit has arisen in modern controversy of saying that such and such a creed can be held in one age but cannot be held in another. Some dogma, we are told, was credible in the twelfth century, but is not credible in the twentieth. You might as well say that a certain philosophy can be believed on Mondays, but cannot be believed on Tuesdays. You might as well say of a view of the cosmos that it was suitable to half-past three, but not suitable to half-past four. What a man can believe depends upon his philosophy, not upon the clock or the century.
