Daily Virtue Quote – G.K. Chesterton

“It is constantly assured, especially in our Tolstoyan tendencies, that when the lion lies down with the lamb the lion becomes lamb-like.  But that is brutal annexation and imperialism on the part of the lamb.  That is simply the lamb absorbing the lion instead of the lion eating the lamb.  The real problem is – Can the lion lie down with the lamb and still retain his royal ferocity?  That is the problem the Church attempted; that is the miracle she achieved.”
