Some of the things that G.K. Chsterton has said from the early 1900′s, is truly amazing and so true for our time.  I would like to share some of the quote’s I found interesting:

“Alone of all creeds, Christianity has added courage to the virtues of the Creator. For the only courage worth calling courage must necessarily mean that the soul passes a breaking point and does not break.”

“If there were no God, therewould be no atheists.”

Cloning – “We are learning to do a great many clever things…The next great task will be to learn not to do them.-

“Art, like morality, consists of drawing the line somewhere.”

“Civilization has run on ahead of the soul of man, and is producing faster than he can think and give thanks.”

“I say that a man must be certain of his morality for the simple reason that he has to suffer for it.”

“These are the days when the Christian is expected to praise every creed except his own.”

“Once abolish the God, and the government becomes the God.”

“America is the only country ever founded on a creed.”

“The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.”

“There are two kinds of paradoxes. They are not so much the good and the bad, nor even the true and the false. Rather they are the fruitful and the barren; the paradoxes which produce life and the paradoxes that merely announce death. Nearly all modern paradoxes merely announce death.”

“A strange fanaticism fills our time: the fanatical hatred of morality, especially of Christian morality.”

Absentee Fathers – “What is called matriarchy is simply moral anarchy, in which the mother alone remains fixed because all the fathers are fugitive and irresponsible.”

“The beautification of the world is not a work of nature, but a work of art, then it involves an artist.”

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

“It is true that I am of an older fashion; much that I love has been destroyed or sent into exile.”

“There is a corollary to the conception of being too proud to fight. It is that the humble have to do most of the fighting.”

“Impartiality is a pompous name for indifference, which is an elegant name for ignorance.”
