Bob Cook I stumbled upon a soon-to-be-published book of Chesterton "quotes, quips and cracks" that others might find interesting. http://socrates58.blogspot.com/

Science must not impose any philosophy, any more than the telephone must tell us what to say.

Franco Maestrelli I have read some books and I like GKC and his catholic think.

"He knew that real patriotism tends to sing about sorrows and forlorn hopes much more than about victory…Above all, he knew the supreme psychological fact about patriotism…The fact that the patriot never under any circumstances boasts of the largeness of his country, but always, and of necessity, boast of the smallness of it."
-Napoleon of Notting Hill
Luis Ortega
"Todos los imperios y reinos han caído por esta su debilidad inherente y continua: porque fueron fundados por hombres fuertes y sobre hombres fuertes. Pero ésta, la histórica Iglesia Cristiana, ha sido fundada sobre un hombre débil, y por esa razón es indestructible. Porque ninguna cadena es más fuerte que el más débil de sus eslabones".
G.K.C. "Herejes", cap. IV.

The new issue of Gilbert has been mailed. If you're not a member of the American Chesterton Society (ACS), consider joining so you can, in the words (I think) of Gilbert's editor, read the best magazine published. Finally, the Vice President of the ACS, in the Lunacy and Letters section of this issue, has requested we ...consider donating to the Society. If you're so inclined, you can do so at http://chesterton.org/donate.htmlRead more
José Papparelli Maestro, tu obra es cada día más necesaria para sobrevivir en este mundo cada vez más frío y distante con lo Sagrado de la Vida.

What remains is the age old question of “purpose.”
Lets me illustrate, in short, with the automobile, we created/engineered cars for our purpose… there are many types of cars, some good & some not so good… you could say cars “evolved” by looking at car design history, but we know they didn’t evolve from raw materials. ...We know they were “engineered,” formed, shaped into parts & put together as cars… so, IF one day we can give the car artificial conscience of choice, what good is the car if it chooses to not acknowledge us or choose to not serve us?Read more

"The Child that was ere worlds begun
(...We need but walk a little way,
We need but see a latch undone...)
Is playing with a little hay."
(from Chesterton's poem, The Wise Men, published Christmas Day, 1905, in the Daily News)
