The above "quote" is an apocryphal variation of what Chesterton actually said: "Merely having an open mind is nothing. The object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid.”

Chesterton: 'Many Books Denounce Lust, But What Of Those That Encourage Greed?'


Chesterton Calls For A New Kind Of Priesthood






I will add to Chesterton's observation above that he is not denying the possibility that there is no God (at least as commonly conceived) but if there is no God, we are better off believing that there is one.

  • Chesterton: "Fairy Tales Are More Than True" (With Follow-Up Commentary By Rev. J. Edgar Bruns, My Most Notable Professor)



  • The last words of Chesterton's book "Orthodoxy": "There was something that He hid from all men when He went up a mountain to pray. There was something that He covered constantly by abrupt silence or impetuous isolation. There was some one thing that was too great for God to show us when He walked upon our earth; and I have sometimes fancied that it was His mirth."

  • The Incipient Unraveling Of The Western World As Seen By Visionary Spanish Philosopher José Ortega y Gasset (1929)

    Is Ortega Y Gasset The Most Important Modern Philosopher? The Most Discerning Prophet? Chesterton's Rival?

  • Chesterton's favorite overseas vacation spot was Sitges, Spain (in Catalonia), now a gay mecca. In 2015, my family and our bosom friends spent a thoroughly delightful month living in the hills above Sitges -- about 20 miles south of Barcelona --  in a centuries old farmhouse called Masia Can Pares: https://www.sitgeshillsvillas.com/property-masia-can-pares-sant-pere-de-ribes.html
  • The following quote is not Chesterton's - nor is it George Carlin's to whom it is often ascribed, but it partakes of Chesterton's picaresque playfulness.
