Chesterton speaks to the romantic within who has a truer sense of reality than the dismissive cynic.

"We have enough strength for politics and commerce and art and philosophy; we have not enough strength for play... My journalistic work, which earns money, is not pursued with such awful persistency as that work which earned nothing." - G.K. Chesterton

I was humbled & honored to contribute to Dale Ahlquist's book compiling the stories of Catholic converts who came to the Church, in part, thanks to G.K. Chesterton.

@hernancitomaria Standing up for virtue in a society dominated by vice is so countercultural that it seems you are deliciously doing something forbidden. In fact, you are doing what is right.

"The act of defending any of the cardinal virtues has today all the exhilaration of a vice.” – G.K. Chesterton

"When everything about a people is for the time growing weak & ineffective,it begins to talk about efficiency. So it is that when a man's body is a wreck he begins, for the first time, to talk about health. Vigorous organisms talk not about their processes, but about their aims."

[G.K. Chesterton @chesterton100]

"There is a kind of work which any man can do, but from which many men shrink, generally because it is very hard work. It is called thinking." - G.K. Chesterton

"That danger of standardization by a low standard seems to me to be the chief danger confronting us..." - G.K. Chesterton

Nine out of ten of what we call new ideas are simply old mistakes. The Catholic Church has for one of her chief duties that of preventing people from making those old mistakes; from making them over and over again forever, as people always do if they are left to themselves. - GKC

“All that we call spirit and art and ecstasy only means that for one awful instant we remember that we forgot.” - G.K. Chesterton

"How can it be broad to be the same thing to everyone,& narrow to be everything to someone? No, a [mother's] function is laborious, but because it is gigantic, not because it is minute. I will pity Mrs. Jones for the hugeness of her task; I will never pity her for its smallness."

"It is always the humble who are secure." - G.K. Chesterton

"We do not really want a religion that is right where we are right. What we want is a religion that is right where we are wrong.” - G.K. Chesterton

“Men invent new ideals because they dare not attempt old ideals. They look forward with enthusiasm, because they are afraid to look back." - G.K. Chesterton

[Tod Worner @ThinkerCatholic]

In response to a newspaper editor’s posed question, “What’s wrong with the world?”, G.K. Chesterton answered:

“Dear Sir,

I am.

Yours,
G.K. Chesterton”
