Chestertonian Thought of the Day

"Big Business is not business-like; it is not enterprising; it is not favourable to science and invention. By the very nature of its monopoly of machinery and mass production, it works entirely the other way. Millions are sunk in plants that cannot be changed or brought up to date. Machinery is made so that it must be used, even when it is useless. Things are made badly so that they must be mended. Things are even made badly so that they may be mended badly; and therefore mended again."
