Daily life Quote by G.K. Chesterton
““It is in our own daily life that we are to look for the portents and the prodigies… Compared with this life, all public life, all fame, all wisdom, is by its nature cramped and cold and small. For on that defined and lighted public stage men are of necessity forced to profess one set of accomplishments, to rise to one rigid standard. It is the utterly unknown people, who can grow in all directions like an exuberant tree.””
