On Humility

From G.K. Chesterton:

...what we suffer from to-day is humility in the wrong place.... A man was meant to be doubtful about himself, but undoubting about the truth; this has been exactly reversed. Nowadays the part of a man that a man does assert is exactly the part he ought not to assert-himself. The part he doubts is exactly the part he ought not to doubt-the Divine Reason.

Orthodoxy pg. 27
