[V]ariety of climate should always go with stability of abode.... an Englishmanโs house is not only his castle; it is his fairy castle. Clouds and colours of every varied dawn and eve are perpetually touching and turning it from clay to gold, or from gold to ivory. There is a line of woodland beyond a corner of my garden which is literally different on every one of the three hundred and sixty-five days. Sometimes it seems as near as a hedge, and sometimes as far as a faint and fiery evening cloud.
Gilbert K. ChestertonThe true savage is a slave, and is always talking about what he must do; the true civilised man is a free man, and is always talking about what he may do.
Gilbert K. ChestertonDogma is actually the only thing that cannot be separated from education. It IS education. A teacher who is not dogmatic is simply a teacher who is not teaching. There are no uneducated people; only most people are educated wrong. The true task of culture today is not a task of expansion, but of selection-and-rejection. The educationist must find a creed and teach it.
Gilbert K. ChestertonEducation is the period during which you are being instructed by somebody you do not know, about something you do not want to know.
