There is one thing which gives radiance to everything. It is the idea of something around the corner.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

A man does not know what he is...

A man does not know what he is saying until he knows what he is not saying.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

If a rhinoceros were to enter ...

If a rhinoceros were to enter this restaurant now, there is no denying he would have great power here. But I should be the first to rise and assure him that he had no authority whatever.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

For us who live in cities Natu...

For us who live in cities Nature is not natural. Nature is supernatural. Just as monks watched and strove to get a glimpse of heaven, so we watch and strive to get a glimpse of earth. It is as if men had cake and wine every day but were sometimes allowed common bread.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

There is no obligation on us t...

There is no obligation on us to be richer, or busier, or more efficient, or more productive, or more progressive, or any way worldlier or wealthier, if it does not make us happier.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

When [a politician] is in oppo...

When [a politician] is in opposition, he is an expert on the means to some end; and when he is in office he is an expert on the obstacles to it. In short, when he is impotent he proves to us that the thing is easy; and when he is omnipotent he proves that it is impossible.

The best kind of giving is thanksgiving.

They say travel broadens the mind, but you must have the mind.

There is a case for telling the truth; there is a case for avoiding the scandal; but there is no possible defense for the man who tells the scandal, but does not tell the truth

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

Courage is getting away from death by continually coming within an inch of it.

The golden age only comes to men when they have forgotten gold.

Is ditchwater dull? Naturalists with microscopes have told me that it teems with quiet fun.

No animal ever invented anything as bad as drunkenness - or so good as drink.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

If prosperity is regarded as the reward of virtue it will be regarded as the symptom of virtue.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

There are many definite methods, honest and dishonest, which make people rich; the only instinct I know of which does it is that instinct which theological Christianity crudely describes as the sin of avarice.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

There is no such thing as Success....That a thing is successful merely means that it is; a millionaire is successful in being a millionaire and a donkey in being a donkey.

Do not look at the faces in the illustrated papers. Look at the faces in the street.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

Many clever men like you have trusted to civilization. Many clever Babylonians, many clever Egyptians, many clever men at the end of Rome. Can you tell me, in a world that is flagrant with the failures of civilisation, what there is particularly immortal about yours?

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

Lord! what a strange world in which a man cannot remain unique even by taking the trouble to go mad!

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

Why should ANYTHING go right; ...

Why should ANYTHING go right; even observation and deduction? Why should not good logic be as misleading as bad logic? They are both movements in the brain of a bewildered ape?
