My favorite Chesterton quote"

Chesterton on birth control/population control:

In 1925 Chesterton wrote an introduction to Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol in which he said that “The answer to anyone who talks about the surplus population is to ask him, whether he is part of the surplus population; or if not, how he knows he is not.”

I really couldn't give you a favorite Chesterton quote...there are entirely too many of them.

One of my favorite poems is The Donkey. As well as reinforcing the value of every life, it makes for a great Lenten/Palm Sunday meditation.
