Favorites Quotes

"Tolerance is the virtue of the man without convictions."

G. K. Chesterton

"The Family is the test of freedom; because the family is the only thing that the free man makes for himself and by himself."

"The Home of the Unities", in The New Christian Witness, Jan. 17, 1919, G. K. Chesterton

"The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried."

Orthodoxy, G. K. Chesterton

"The official Church wastes time and energy, and moreover, commits sacrilege, in demanding that secular workers should neglect their proper vocation in order to do Christian work--by which She means ecclesiastical work.  The only Christian work is good work well done."

Dorothy Sayers, Letters to a Diminished Church

"He who has God and everything has no more than he who has God alone."

C. S. Lewis

"And it is fatal to imagine that everybody knows quite well what Christianity is and needs only a little encouragement to practice it. The brutal fact is that in this Christian country not one person in a hundred has the faintest notion what the Church teaches about God or man or society or the person of Jesus Christ."

Dorothy Sayers, Letters to a Diminished Church

"All schools, both here [in England] and in America, ought to teach far fewer subjects and teach them far better."

C. S. Lewis, Letters to Children

"The thing that is in danger is the whole structure of society, and it is necessary to persuade thinking men and women of the vital and intimate connection between the structure of society and the theological doctrines of Christianity."

Dorothy Sayers, Letters to a Diminished Church

"One of the reasons why it needs no special education to be a Christian is that Christianity is an education itself. That is why an uneducated believer like Bunyan was able to write a book that has astonished the whole world."

C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

"The name under which pride walks the world at this moment is the perfectibility of man, or the doctirne of progress; and its specialty is the making of blueprints for utiopia and establishing the kingdom of man on earth."

Dorothy Sayers, Letters to a Diminished Church

"All education is religious education--and never more than when it is irreligious education. It either teaches a definite doctrine about the universe, which is theology; or else it takes one for granted, which is mysticism. If it does not do that it does nothing at all, and means nothing at all, for everything must depend upon some first principles and refer to some causes, expressed or unexpressed."

The Illustrated London News, July 26, 1924, G. K. Chesterton

"If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world."

C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

"The common people, indeed, 'heard him gladly'; but our leading authorities in Church and State considered that he talked too much and uttered too many disconcerting truths."

Dorothy Sayers, Letters to a Diminished Church
