Additional quotes by Hilaire Belloc

It is the best of all trades, to make songs, and the second best to sing them.

Child! Do not throw this book about;
Refrain from the unholy pleasure
Of cutting all the pictures out!
Preserve it as your chiefest treasure.

A strong Protectionist, believes
In everything but Heaven.
For entertainment, dines, receives,
Unmarried, 57.
