If you have less time than is required to read a book, search the web for GK Chesterton quotes. Although they made not be as filling as a meal (book), they make great snacks.
For instance - “Tolerance is the convenience of not having convictions”
Search on-line for the American Chesterton Society and the Catholic Channel (don’t remember the exact name of the channel) on DirecTV. They have a half hour show on Chesterton The Apostle of Common Sense!
“”For instance - “Tolerance is the convenience of not having convictions”””
How about this one..
“THE average man votes below himself; he votes with half a mind or a hundredth part of one. A man ought to vote with the whole of himself, as he worships or gets married. A man ought to vote with his head and heart, his soul and stomach, his eye for faces and his ear for music; also (when sufficiently provoked) with his hands and feet. If he has ever seen a fine sunset, the crimson colour of it should creep into his vote. If he has ever heard splendid songs, they should be in his ears when he makes the mystical cross. But as it is, the difficulty with English democracy at all elections is that it is something less than itself. The question is not so much whether only a minority of the electorate votes. The point is that only a minority of the voter votes.”
