“Art consists of limitation. The most beautiful part of every picture is the frame.” — G. K. Chesterton

(Prolific, and often profound, was Chesterton. But, often he was the master of a kind of doubletalk. Sort of the forerunner of Yoda. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
“Fairy tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.” -G.K. Chesterton (Photo credit: deeplifequotes)
“A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.” — G. K. Chesterton

(What does this blog say about this blogger? Usually the Cryptoquote gives me more trouble than the Jumble. But today, I couldn’t solve the Jumble. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“The honest poor can sometimes forget poverty. The honest rich can never forget it.” — G. K. Chesterton
(It’s called having a social conscience. Those with empathy and charity for others have it. Those who are not honest with themselves do not understand John Bradford‘s words: There, but for the grace of God, go I. Be well, and always do good, friends.) — YUR

Journalism consists largely in saying “Lord Jones Died” to people who never knew Lord Jones was alive. — G. K. Chesterton
(Contempt for the readers??? Wow, it looks like the media sure hasn’t changed much . . . if at all. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Music with dinner is an insult both to the cook and the violinist.” — G.K. Chesterton
(What a stodgy, head up your ass quotation! A lot of these late 19th – early 20th Century Brits were total D-bags. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of rediness to die.” — G.K. Chesterton

(And, cowardice is a stronger desire to live taking the form of getting your ass out of harm’s way. Take it from someone who has medaled in cowardice! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another.” — Gilbert K. Chesterton
(So . . . education is a form of reincarnation. It’s a transmigration of knowledge. It’s why you must “teach your children well.”) — YUR
“There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds.” — Gilbert K. Chesterton
(I think they might have been trying to throw us off a bit by writing out “Gilbert” when most people just look for the “G” in G.K. Chesterton. The quote wasn’t all that cryptic.) — YUR
“A woman uses her intelligence to find reasons to support her intuition.” — G.K. Chesterton
(. . . rendering a man to not having a leg to stand on.) — YUR
PS. Happy Birthday to my beautiful and intelligent baby sister, Debbie! Oh! And, to my old friend and ex-coworker, Ginny! AND, to my dear Gramma in heaven! — YUR
“Children are innocent and love justice, while most adults are wicked and prefer mercy.” — Gilbert K. Chesterton
(I’m far from innocence, but I still prefer justice.) — YUR 14:56 EDT
