Man has always lost his way; but now he
has lost his address. ~ G. K. Chesterton

Laughter, G.K. Chesterton
Alone among the animals, Man is shaken
with the beautiful madness called laughter; as if he had caught sight
of some secret in the very shape of the universe hidden from the
universe itself. ~ G. K. Chesterton
Looking Down on Hell, G.K. Chesterton
It is not always wrong to go to the
brink of the lowest promontory and look down on hell. It is when you
look up at hell that a serious miscalculation has probably been made.
~ G. K. Chesterton
12 Ordinary Men, G.K. Chesterton
Our civilization has decided...that
determining the guilt or innocence of men is a thing too important to
be trusted to trained men. ...When it wishes anything done which is
really serious, it collects twelve of the ordinary men standing
around. The same thing was done, if I remember right, by the Founder
of Christianity. ~ G. K. Chesterton
A Mystic Being, G.K. Chesterton
Man is a mystic being who cannot do
what is expected of him; but can only do more than is expected of
him. He can die in torments in the trenches for a rag on a pole; but
he cannot keep his temper for twenty-four hours. ~ G. K. Chesterton
Feminists, G.K. Chesterton
Most feminists would probably agree
with me that womanhood is under shameful tyranny in the shops and
mills. But I want to destroy the tyranny. They want to destroy the
womanhood. ~ G. K. Chesterton
Gloriously Surprised, G.K. Chesterton
Blessed is he who expecteth nothing,
for he shall be gloriously surprised. ~ G. K. Chesterton
