G.K. Chesterton Quotes

Seriousness Is Not A Virtue. It Would Be A Heresy, But A Much More Sensible Heresy, To Say That Seriousness Is A Vice. It Is Really A Natural Trend Or Lapse Into Taking One's Self Gravely, Because It Is The Easiest Thing To Do. It Is Much Easier To Write A Good Times Leading Article Than A Good Joke In Punch. For Solemnity Flows Out Of Men Naturally; But Laughter Is A Leap. It Is Easy To Be Heavy: Hard To Be Light. Satan Fell By The Force Of Gravity.
