"We make our friends; we make our enemies; but God makes our next door neighbour." ― Gilbert K. Chesterton Topic(s): God Tags: friends More From Gilbert K. Chesterton "Fable is more historical than fact, because fact tells us about one man and fable tells us about a million men." "Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to that arrogant oligarchy who merely happen to be walking around." "It is the test of a good religion whether you can joke about it." More In God "Let’s create a legal system that can work."― Sam Brownback "God created man in His own image, says the Bible; philosophers reverse the process: they create God in theirs."― Georg C. Lichtenberg "It’s a mystery. That’s the first thing that interests me about the idea of God. If there is one, it’s mysterious and powerful and awesome to even consider the concept, and you have to take it seriously."― Stephen King
