Gilbert K. Chesterton Quotes About Spring

• Spring never is spring unless it comes too soon.

  Gilbert K. Chesterton

  Nature, Spring, Environment

• Even in a minute instance, it is best to look first to the main tendencies of Nature. A particular flower may not be dead in early winter, but the flowers are dying; a particular pebble may never be wetted with the tide, but the tide is coming in. To the scientific eye all human history is a series of collective movements, destructions or migrations, like the massacre of flies in winter or the return of birds in spring.

  Gilbert K. Chesterton

  Spring, Flower, Eye

• There is a road from the eye to the heart that does not go through the intellect. Men do not quarrel about the meaning of sunsets; they never dispute that the hawthorn says the best and wittiest thing about the spring.
