From Gilbert K. Chesterton
Journalism is popular, but it is popular mainly as fiction. Life is one world, and life seen in the newspapers is another.

Music with dinner is an insult both to the cook and the violinist.
Brave men are all vertebrates; they have their softness on the surface and their toughness in the middle.

The word 'good' has many meanings. For example, if a man were to shoot his grandmother at a range of five hundred yards, I should call him a good shot, but not necessarily a good man.
Thieves respect property. They merely wish the property to become their property that they may more perfectly respect it.
I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.
There is but an inch of difference between a cushioned chamber and a padded cell.
