When men have come to the edge of a precipice, it is the lover of life who has the spirit to leap backwards, and only the pessimist who continues to believe in progress.
Gilbert K. ChestertonAs long as the vision of heaven is always changing, the vision of earth will be exactly the same. No ideal will remain long enough to be realized, or even partly realized. The modern young man will never change his environment; for he will always change his mind.
Gilbert K. ChestertonThink of all those ages through which men have had the courage to die, and then remember that we have actually fallen to talking about having the courage to live.
