Famous quotes containing the word keith:

    If prosperity is regarded as the reward of virtue it will be regarded as the symptom of virtue.
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    Of an old King in a story
    From the grey sea-folk I have heard,
    Whose heart was no more broken
    Than the wings of a bird.
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    Our civilization has decided ... that determining the guilt or innocence of men is a thing too important to be trusted to trained men.... When it wants a library catalogued, or the solar system discovered, or any trifle of that kind, it uses up its specialists. But when it wishes anything done which is really serious, it collects twelve of the ordinary men standing round. The same thing was done, if I remember right, by the Founder of Christianity.
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
