In our civilization, and under our republican form of government, intelligence

is so highly honored that it is rewarded by exemption from the cares of office.

G. K. Chesterton

G. K. Chesterton is one of the greatest writers in the English language. Unfortunately, he is also one of the most forgotten. His book "The Everlasting Man" is said to have contributed to C. S. Lewis' conversion to Christianity. "Orthodoxy" and "Heretics" are Christian classics. If you prefer fiction, the Father Brown mysteries are delightful. Now, to whet your appetite, I have provided a few Chesterton quotes:

"Fallacies do not cease to be fallacies because they become fashions."

"If there were no God, there would be no Atheists."

"Poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese."

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

"To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it."
