We have a collection of 6 God quotes from Gilbert K Chesterton
"When we were children we were grateful to those who filled our stockings at Christmas time. Why are we not grateful to God for filling our stockings with legs?" (ID 21556)
"We make our friends; we make our enemies; but God makes our next door neighbour." (ID 22301)
"Man is an exception, whatever else he is. If he is not the image of God, then he is a disease of the dust. If it is not true that a divine being fell, then we can only say that one of the animals went entirely off its head." (ID 22315)
"Men always talk about the most important things to perfect strangers. In the perfect stranger we perceive man himself; the image of a God is not disguised by resemblances to an uncle or doubts of wisdom of a mustache." (ID 22324)
"If I can put one touch of rosy sunset into the life of any man or woman, I shall feel that I have worked with God." (ID 22364)
"White... is not a mere absence of colour; it is a shining and affirmative thing, as fierce as red, as definite as black... God paints in many colours; but He never paints so gorgeously, I had almost said so gaudily, as when He paints in white." (ID 22469)
