The truth is that there are no things for which men will make such herculean efforts as the things of which they know they are unworthy.
Gilbert K. ChestertonThe beautification of the world is not a work of nature, but a work of art, then it involves an artist.
Gilbert K. ChestertonVery few people in the world would care to listen to the real defense of their own characters. The real defense, the defense which belongs to the Day of Judgment, would make such damaging admissions, would clear away so many artificial virtues, would tell such tragedies of weakness and failure, that a man would sooner be misunderstood and censured by the world than exposed to that awful and merciless eulogy.
