Quote du jour/G.K. Chesterton


Children are grateful when Santa Claus puts in their stockings gifts of toys or sweets. Could I not be grateful to Santa Claus when he put in my stockings the gift of two miraculous legs?
Gilbert Keith Chesterton

    And now I get occasional mailings from the Chesterton Society. The latest one had this quote, and I was so taken with it, I thought I'd put it on the blog.
