You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink.
– GK Chesterton –

from On Running After One’s Hat
I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.
– GK Chesterton –
The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult and left untried.
– GK Chesterton –
To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.
– GK Chesterton –
The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried.
