“Quote of the Day” –  Handwriting Practice

G K Chesterton (1875 – 1936) was a writer, poet and philosopher. Chesterton was a great thinker and a genius at seeing what was true and what was not. Whenever he saw something that was wrong, he spoke out against it. For example, he was one of the first to understand how evil and dangerous Hitler was. Chesterton became a Catholic in 1922. It is a very strange thing about England that Chesterton is much more famous in America than he is here. There have even been calls for him to be made a saint. I’m not sure he would like that idea. Chesterton had a very big influence on C S Lewis and J R R Tolkien.

Music: ‘Nimrod’ by Edward Elgar, England’s most famous composer.

Can you think of something that is ‘right’ but people aren’t doing it? Or something that was very wrong, but lots of people did it anyway? This quote is telling us to listen to our conscience and do what is right, no matter what people say.
