"Men invent new ideals because they dare not attempt old ideals. They look forward with enthusiasm, because they are afraid to look back." - What's Wrong With The World, 1910
In the chapter from which this quote is taken, G.K. goes on to say that all the ancient peoples honored purity. But when people started living a pure life, they weren't so happy, so they fed them to the lions.
Many Christian ideals seem impossible, but how often do I REALLY try, before just giving up and going with the flow. It's so much easier, and the world definately supports me.
