G.K. Chesterton has an overwhelming number of great quotes. They span nearly every subject and are succinct in a way only a few can write. These are some of my favorites..
“Without education, we are in a horrible and deadly danger of taking educated people seriously.”
“The traveler sees what he sees. The tourist sees what he has come to see.”
“The way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost.”
“An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered”
“Fallacies do not cease to be fallacies because they become fashions.”
“If there were no God, there would be no atheists.”
“I believe in getting into hot water; it keeps you clean.”
“How you think when you lose determines how long it will be until you win.”
“A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it.”
“Humility is the mother of giants. One sees great things from the valley; only small things from the peak.”
“Impartiality is a pompous name for indifference, which is an elegant name for ignorance.”
“There are two ways of getting home; and one of them is to stay there”
“Do not free a camel of the burden of his hump; you may be freeing him from being a camel.”
“Humor can get in under the door while seriousness is still fumbling at the handle.”
