"If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly."

Welcome! My name is Mike, and I have decided to start a blog dedicated to providing quotes and excerpts from the writings of G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936), as well as from time to time other items related to him. There are, of course, many blogs already that are connected with "GKC" (as he was known), and so in that respect this one will not exactly be unique. Indeed, to be honest, the main reason I decided to start this blog was simply to be able to have all of the passages from his writing that I wished to have gathered together for my own personal use in one place. I realize that (apart from the actual excerpts of GKC's writing I provide), my blog will be sorely lacking in quality. However, I take comfort in Chesterton's saying that "If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly," and hope it may perhaps prove helpful for others in some small way as well.

If you do not know much about G.K. Chesterton, I suggest visiting the webpage of the American Chesterton Society , which provides much valuable information on one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century.

I also have created a list detailing examples of Chesterton's influence, if you are interested, that I work on from time to time.

I hope you have a wonderful day.
