The Mass is not only about God becoming man, it is about Man becoming more himself.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

The dignity of the artist lie...

The dignity of the artist lies in his duty of keeping awake the sense of wonder in the world.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

The truth is, of course, that...

The truth is, of course, that the curtness of the Ten Commandments is an evidence, not of the gloom and narrowness of a religion, but, on the contrary, of its liberality and humanity. It is shorter to state the things forbidden than the things permitted; precisely because most things are permitted, and only a few things are forbidden.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

Whatever else we may say of o...

Whatever else we may say of our own age, for good or evil, nobody is likely to call it an Age of Reason.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

Hope means hoping when things...

Hope means hoping when things are hopeless, or it is no virtue at all. And faith means believing the incredible, or it is no virtue at all.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

You say grace before meals. A...

You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

Eugenics asserts that all men...

Eugenics asserts that all men must be so stupid that they cannot manage their own affairs; and also so clever that they can manage each other's.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

There are no new lies, no new...

There are no new lies, no new heresies. Man is simply not that creative.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

America is the only country ever founded on a creed.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

Man is more himself, man is m...

Man is more himself, man is more manlike, when joy is the fundamental thing in him, and grief the superficial. Melancholy should be an innocent interlude, a tender and fugitive frame of mind; praise should be the permanent pulsation of the soul.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

We can’t turn life into a pleasure. But we can choose such pleasures as are worthy of us and our immortal souls.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

All science, even the divine ...

All science, even the divine science, is a sublime detective story. Only it is not set to detect why a man is dead; but the darker secret of why he is alive.

The evolutionists seem to know everything about the missing link except the fact that it is missing.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

The real great man is the man...

The real great man is the man who makes every man feel great.

Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

Modern man is staggering and ...

Modern man is staggering and losing his balance because he is being pelted with little pieces of alleged fact which are native to the newspapers; and, if they turn out not to be facts, that is still more native to newspapers.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

All men matter. You matter. I...

All men matter. You matter. I matter. It's the hardest thing in theology to believe.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

I should say that psycho-analysis was confession without absolution.

I've been to every park in every city and not seen a statue to a committee.

Imagination does not breed insanity. Exactly what does breed insanity is reason. Poets do not go mad, but chess players do.
