G. K. Chesterton and his words


“It isn't that they can't see the solution. It's that they can't see the problem.”
G. K. Chesterton


“Drink because you are happy, but never because you are miserable.”
G. K. Chesterton


“Marriage is an adventure, like going to war.”
G. K. Chesterton


I believe in getting into hot water; it keeps you clean.
G. K. Chesterton


Fallacies do not cease to be fallacies because they become fashions.
G. K. Chesterton


The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because they are generally the same people.
G. K. Chesterton


Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who merely happen to be walking about.
G. K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy


A woman uses her intelligence to find reasons to support her intuition.
G. K. Chesterton


I love the way he looked at the world. He understood the realm of the spiritual and logical at the same time.
