QotD: Chesterton

"The modern revolutionist, being an infinite skeptic, is forever engaged in undermining his own mines, in his book on politics he attacks men for trampling on morality; in his book on ethics he attacks morality for trampling on men.  Therefore the modern man in revolt becomes practically useless for all purposes of revolt.  By rebelling against everything he has lost his right to rebel against anything."

~Gordon Keith Chesterton, Orthodoxy
