"Many clever men like you have trusted to civilisation. Many clever Babylonians, many clever Egyptians, many clever men at the end of Rome. Can you tell me, in a world that is flagrant with the failures of civilisation, what there is particularly immortal about yours?" G.K. Chesterton, The Napoleon of Notting Hill

"We find rest in those we love, and we provide a resting place in ourselves for those who love us.” St. Bernard of Clairvaux

"The solution to any problem you have in life is a way of life that makes the problem disappear." Wittgenstein

"Nature [God in fact] has given us a desire to discover the truth." Cicero

"The
unexpected always happens." Disraeli

"Cameron should have resigned over Libya but I am glad he didn't or we might not have had Brexit." Me 6 years ago. Who now remembers David Cameron?
