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.

democracy. You must have a democracy in order to have a
revolution.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

At the bottom of all the tributes paid to democracy is the little
man, walking into the little booth, with a little pencil, making
a little cross on a little bit of paper. . . .

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

'My country, right or wrong,...

think of saying except in a desperate case. It is like saying,
'My mother, drunk or sober.'

I realized that ritual will always mean throwing away something;
Destroying our corn or wine upon the altar of our gods.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

When fishes flew and forests walked
And figs grew upon thorn,
Some moment when the moon was blood
Then surely I was born.
With monstrous head and sickening cry
And ears like errant wings,
The devil's walking parody
On all four-footed things.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

The world will never starve for want of wonders; but only for
want of wonder.

Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

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.

The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost.

Man seems to be capable of great virtues but not of small virtues; capable of defying his torturer but not of keeping his temper.
