Man must have just enough faith in himself to have adventures, and just enough doubt of himself to enjoy them.
Gilbert K. ChestertonAn enormous amount of modern ingenuity is expended on finding defences for the indefensible conduct of the powerful. As I have said above, these defences generally exhibit themselves most emphatically in the form of appeals to physical science. And of all the forms in which science, or pseudo-science, has come to the rescue of the rich and stupid, there is none so singular as the singular invention of the theory of races.
Gilbert K. ChestertonWe are all in the same boat, in a stormy sea, and we owe each other a terrible loyalty.
Gilbert K. ChestertonThe modern world is full of the old Christian virtues gone mad. The virtues have gone mad because they have been isolated from each other and are wandering alone. Thus some scientists care for truth; and their truth is pitiless. Thus some humanitarians only care for pity; and their pity (I am sorry to say) is often untruthful.
