Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle aged (Gilbert K Chesterton Quotes)
There nearly always is a method in madness. It’s what drives men mad, being methodical (Gilbert K Chesterton Quotes)
The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him (Gilbert K Chesterton Quotes)
