The average man votes below himself; he votes with half a mind or a hundredth part of one. A man ought to vote with the whole of himself, as he worships or gets married. A man ought to vote with his head and heart, his soul and stomach, his eye for faces and his ear for music; also (when sufficiently provoked) with his hands and feet. If he has ever seen a fine sunset, the crimson color of it should creep into his vote. The question is not so much whether only a minority of the electorate votes. The point is that only a minority of the voter votes.
Gilbert K. ChestertonWe can be almost certain of being wrong about the future, if we are wrong about the past.
Gilbert K. ChestertonOnce I planned to write a book of poems entirely about the things in my pocket. But I found it would be too long; and the age of the great epics is past.
