There is only one important truth about the fashion of this world, and that is that it passes away.

I don't share Chesterton quotes based upon how they will be received. And I don't think Chesterton wrote based on how it would be received. He wrote the truth. So your metric is off. The question should be "true or untrue?"

Between newspaper stunts and newspaper suppressions on the one side, and dictatorships with their censorships on the other, it is highly probable that our immediate posterity will know less about what is going on than they did before there was a printing press.

Take away the supernatural, and what remains is the unnatural.

It is rather a curious coincidence that in every controversy in which I have been hitherto, I have always been entirely right.

Mmmmm now I'm a crank. Gosh. What a talent you have for name-calling. Now go away and read "The New Jerusalem" by G. K. Chesterton.

Sorry. Sound criticism of the Jews is not anti-Semitism.

Do you have an answer? Or is slander all that comes to mind?

One is not supposed to insult America by discussing Banks or France by discussing duelling; why should the Jews be the only people who refuse to be talked about intelligently?

Christianity cares nothing for the trend of the age; for the trend of the age is a dead thing and a religion is alive.

The curtness of the Ten Commandments is an evidence, not of gloom & narrowness, but, on the contrary, of liberality & humanity. It is shorter to state the things forbidden than the things permitted: precisely because most things are permitted, and only a few things are forbidden.

Feminism is against chivalry; but chivalry will always be rather in favor of feminism.

Nine out of ten of what we call new ideas are simply old mistakes. The Catholic Church has for one of her chief duties that of preventing people from making those old mistakes; from making them over and over again forever, as people always do if they are left to themselves.

Nothing is "exclusively Western" except the Catholic Church. But the point is that, in the West, we implemented a Natural Law understanding of society, which was rooted in the Family, not the individual. And the Modern rebellion against that has only weakened society.
