G.K. Chesterton, St. Francis of Assisi

There is a bias in man like the bias in the bowl; and Christianity was the discovery of how to correct the bias and therefore hit the mark. There are many who will smile at the saying; but it is profoundly true to say that the glad good news brought by the Gospel was the news of original sin.

[Chapter II, "The World St. Francis Found"]
