Quote by G.K. Chesterton
“Ele afirmou que as virtudes pagãs, como justiça e temperança, são virtudes tristes. As virtudes cristãs —fé, esperança e amor —são virtudes alegres e exuberantes. Elas possuem certa aura de audácia: O amor perdoa o imperdoável, senão deixa de ser virtude. A esperança não desiste, mesmo em face do desespero, senão deixa de ser virtude. E a fé acredita no inacreditável, senão deixa de ser virtude.”
― G.K. Chesterton ,
