Chesterton #1

"An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered; an adventure is an inconvenience rightly considered." - On Running After Ones Hat, All Things Considered, 1908 G. K. Chesterton
       Chesterton is a wealth of great quotes on faith, culture and the human condition.  I am sure I will be putting more of his quotes up with the passing of time.
Bonus quote from Orthodoxy:
"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." - Orthodoxy, 1908
