Gilbert K. ChestertonAristocracy is an atmosphere; it is sometimes a healthy atmosphere; but it is very hard to say when it becomes an unhealthy atmosphere. You can prove that a man is not the son of a king, or that he is not the delegate of a definite number of people. But you cannot prove that a man is not a gentleman.
Gilbert K. ChestertonGod is like the sun; you cannot look at it, but without it you cannot look at anything else.
