“We fear men so much, because we fear God so little. One fear cures another. When man's terror scares you, turn your thoughts to the wrath of God.”

English Christian apologist and writer

Gilbert Keith Chesterton was an English Christian apologist and writer. He was a major presence in early 20th-century literature, known for his wit, his fondness for paradox, and his defence of tradition. His work and public writing were shaped by a style that often turned ideas on their head to make a point. He is remembered for arguments grounded in Christian belief and for a voice that was sharp, playful, and attentive to older social and cultural traditions.
