"The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected."


This was a quote by G. K. Chesterton who was the principle author behind the Distributist Economic School and was a philosopher. I believe this has to be one of the greatest political quotes I have ever read. I hope you enjoyed it!

Heck, you could make a thread about just about any GK Chesterton quote:


"A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it." - Everlasting Man, 1925

"Fallacies do not cease to be fallacies because they become fashions." - ILN, 4/19/30

"Impartiality is a pompous name for indifference, which is an elegant name for ignorance." - The Speaker, 12/15/00

"An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered; an adventure is an inconvenience rightly considered." - On Running After Ones Hat, All Things Considered, 1908

Chesterton Quotes


That's only a small sample, there are tons of them at the link.

Enjoy.

"Among the rich you will never find a really generous man even by accident. They may give their money away, but they will never give themselves away; they are egotistic, secretive, dry as old bones. To be smart enough to get all that money you must be dull enough to want it." - A Miscellany of Men


This has got to be my favorite!

The simple logic in subtle threads like this seems to always go unnoticed. Maybe the world is polarized more than we realize making truth invisible?
