The only guide to man is his conscience; the only shield to his memory is the rectitude and sincerity of his actions.

We are learning to do a great many clever things. . . The next great task will be to learn not to do them. <br /> - G.K. Chesterton
Misers get up early in the morning; and burglars, I am informed, get up the night before. It is the great peril of our society that all its mechanism may grow more fixed while its spirit grows more fickle.

But with us the reverse is true; our views change constantly; but our lunch does not change. <br /> G.K. Chesterton
Christianity has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried. <br /> - G.K. Chesterton

We're all really dependent in nearly everything, and we all make a fuss about being independent in something. <br /> - G.K. Chesterton
Normal and real birth control is called self control. <br /> - G.K. Chesterton
I doubt whether any truth can be told except in a parable. <br /> - G.K. Chesterton

The Declaration of Independence dogmatically bases all rights on the fact that God created all men equal; and it is right; for if they were not created equal, they were certainly evolved unequal. There is no basis for democracy except in a dogma about the divine origin of man. <br /> - G.K. Chesterton - Chapter 19, What I Saw In America, 1922 
It is a good sign in a nation when things are done badly. It shows that all the people are doing them. And it is bad sign in a nation when such things are done very well, for it shows that only a few experts and eccentrics are doing them, and that the nation is merely looking on. <br /> - G.K. Chesterton - "Patriotism and Sport," All Things Considered 
What is history, but a fable agreed upon? <br /> - Napoleon
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. <br /> Romans 3:23

There are no hopeless situations; there are only people who have grown hopeless about them. <br /> -Clare Boothe Luce, 1902 - 1987
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight; nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety; is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. <br /> - John Stuart Mill
I see little of more importance to the future of our country and of civilization than full recognition of the place of the artist. If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him. <br ?> - President John F. Kennedy
If the profession you have chosen has some unexpected inconveniences, console yourself that no profession is without them, and that all of the perplexities of business are softness compared with the vacancy of idleness. <br /> - Samuel Johnson
No man is wholly free. He is a slave to wealth, or to fortune, or the laws, or the people restrain him from acting according to his will alone. <br /> - Euripides
Soldiers and saviors of the homes we love; Heroes and patriots who marched away; And who marched back, and who march[ ] on above- All-all are here to-day! <br /> - James Whitcomb Riley, on dedication of Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument, Indianapolis, IN

The muffled drum's sad roll has beat <br /> The soldier's last tattoo; <br /> No more on Life's parade shall meet <br /> That brave and fallen few. <br /> On Fame's eternal camping-ground <br /> Their silent tents are spread, <br /> And Glory guards with solemn round, <br /> The bivouac of the dead. <br /> <br /> - Theodore O'Hara, honoring those killed in America's service.
Characters live to be noticed. People with character notice how they live. <br /> - Nancy Moser
The world will never starve for want of wonders, but for want of wonder. <br /> - G. K. Chesterton

The man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder - a waif, a nothing, a no man. Have a purpose in life and having it, throw such strength of mind and muscle into your work as God has given you. <br /> - Thomas Carlyle
I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death. <br /> - Thomas Paine
The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that the English language is as pure as a crib-house whore.
