@KarlaJOfficial So are hardcore videos now?

@williamnyy23 @GKCdaily Because this statement has it's basis in reality

[G. K. Chesterton @GKCdaily]

Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who merely happen to be walking about.

[G. K. Chesterton @GKCdaily]

Idolatry is committed, not merely by setting up false gods, but also by setting up false devils; by making men afraid of war or alcohol, or economic law, when they should be afraid of spiritual corruption and cowardice.

[G. K. Chesterton @GKCdaily]

The glory of modern people is that they do really feel. Their only danger is that they cannot think.

[G. K. Chesterton @GKCdaily]

Fairy tales do not give the child his first idea of bogey. What they give the child is his first clear idea of the defeat of bogey. The baby has known the dragon intimately ever since he had an imagination. What the fairy tale provides for him is a St. George to kill the dragon.

@Cerra__ Beautiful face and eyes.

[G. K. Chesterton @GKCdaily]

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

[G. K. Chesterton @GKCdaily]

We shall never return to social sanity till we begin at the beginning. We must start where all history starts, with a man and a woman, and a child, and with the province of liberty and property which these need for their full humanity.

[G. K. Chesterton @GKCdaily]

Unfortunately science is only splendid when it is science. When science becomes religion it becomes superstition.

[G. K. Chesterton @GKCdaily]

Science must not impose any philosophy, any more than the telephone must tell us what to say.

[G. K. Chesterton @GKCdaily]

Christianity imposes upon its heroes a paradox: a paradox of great humility in the matter of their sins combined with great ferocity in the matter of their ideas.

[G. K. Chesterton @GKCdaily]

The main mark of modern government is that we do NOT know who governs, 'de facto' any more than 'de jure'. We see the politician and not his backer; still less the backer of the backer; or (what is most important of all) the banker of the backer.

[G. K. Chesterton @GKCdaily]

It is often essential to resist a tyranny before it exists. It is no answer to say, with a distant optimism, that the scheme is only in the air. A blow from a hatchet can only be parried while it is in the air.

[G. K. Chesterton @GKCdaily]

The truth is that the modern world, with its modern movements, is living on its Catholic capital. It is using, and using up, the truths that remain out of the old treasury of Christendom; including, of course, many truths known to pagan antiquity but crystallized in Christendom.

[G. K. Chesterton @GKCdaily]

No Catholic thinks he is a good Catholic; or he would by that thought become a bad Catholic.

[G. K. Chesterton @GKCdaily]

A Catholic is a person who has plucked up courage to face the incredible and inconceivable idea that something else may be wiser than he is.
