Gilbert K. Chesterton
  • Half a truth is better than no politics.

  • 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.

  • True contentment is a thing as active as agriculture. It is the power of getting out of any situation all that there is in it. It is arduous and it is rare.

  • Let your religion be less of a theory and more of a love affair.

  • It is the test of a good religion whether you can joke about it.
