The true object of all human life is play. Earth is a task garden; heaven is a playground.
From Gilbert K. Chesterton

Drink because you are happy, but never because you are miserable.
There is a road from the eye to heart that does not go through the intellect.
A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.
Christianity has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and not tried.
A yawn is a silent shout.
The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult and left untried.
Men feel that cruelty to the poor is a kind of cruelty to animals. They never feel that it is an injustice to equals; nay it is treachery to comrades.
To be clever enough to get all that money, one must be stupid enough to want it.
