Thank you, TCT, for giving me a solid morsel every day. - Burton Wed, 30 Dec 2009 06:45:30 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/chesterton-on-christmas.html#comment-3741 G.K. not only was profound at times but also very witty. His good- natured feud with George Bernard Shaw reminds me of this exchange: G.K. 'To look at you, anyone would think there was a famine in England.' Shaw retorted, 'To look at you, anyone would think you caused it.' One of my favorite Chesterton quotes: 'Christianity has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and not tried.' - Joseph Tue, 29 Dec 2009 16:52:51 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/chesterton-on-christmas.html#comment-3740 If you have a Kindle, there is an incredible amount of Chesterton material available on Amazon at a very low price. - Michael Sundermeier Tue, 29 Dec 2009 10:10:56 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/chesterton-on-christmas.html#comment-3739 For anyone who likes common sense, Chesterton has got to be a favorite. He had the unique ability to reduce intellectual sounding psychobabble into utter truth and simplicity. On of my favorites of his, although not about Christmas, is his quip that one who cannot be judgmental has lost his principles. This certainly flies in the face of contemporary, politically correct dogooders. - Willie Tue, 29 Dec 2009 07:46:14 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/chesterton-on-christmas.html#comment-3738 Thank you for this excellent article, Mr. Marlin. My next stop is the Ignatius Press website to place some orders. The modern world is too inclined to forget the Greats. - William H. Phelan Tue, 29 Dec 2009 07:45:43 +0100
