Generousity
April 21, 2007
“Among the rich you will never find a really generous man even by accident. They may give their money away, but they will never give themselves away; they are egotistic, secretive, dry as old bones. To be smart enough to get all that money you must be dull enough to want it.”
G. K. Chesterton – A Miscellany of Men
Living Things

“Living things must constantly be broken up and destroyed; it is only the dead things than can be left alone.”
G. K. Chesterton – “The Riddle of the Restoration” Lunacy and Letters
Living Soul and Dead Law
March 9, 2007
“There is a chasm between the man who believes in the soul, in the sense of the will, and the man who only believes in what he calls law, and what I call fate. It is a difference of kind, like the difference between organic and inorganic matter; or, in other words, between dead things and living ones.”
G. K. Chesterton (Illustrated London News Feb. 21, 1925)
