Chesterton


Here are some quotes by G. K. Chesterton for your consideration. I like him not only because he was brilliant but also because he simply did not fit into anybody's box.

"Fairy tales don't teach children there are dragons; children already know there are dragons. Fairy tales teach children that dragons can be slain."

"The riddles of God are more satisfying than the solutions of man."

"The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because they are generally the same people."

"If there were no God, there would be no atheists."

"The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected."

"The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried."
