Lemming Tracks: Chesterton Quotes on Bigotry and Lunatic Asylums

From "Quotations of G. K. Chesterton":

"...'It is not bigotry to be certain we are right; but it is bigotry to be unable to imagine how we might possibly have gone wrong.' - G. K. Chesterton, 'The Catholic Church and Conversion'...."

I'm something of a fan of G. K. Chesterton - as you've probably figured out by now. (A list of posts where I've quoted him is at the end of this one.)

Here's another Chesterton quote:

"The men who really believe in themselves are all in lunatic asylums."
G. K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy; p. 14
from The Quotations Page
