More quotes by G.K. 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."
"I am not absentminded. It is the presence of mind that makes me unaware of everything else."
"Surely we cannot take an open question like the supernatural and shut it with a bang, turning the key of the madhouse on all the mystics of history. You cannot take the region of the unknown and calmly say that, though you know nothing about it, you know all the gates are locked. We do not know enough about the unknown to know that it is unknowable."
"Humor can get in under the door while seriousness is still fumbling at the handle."
"If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly."
