Additional quotes by Alfred Austin

Let your house
Be spacious more than splendid, and be books
And busts your most conspicuous furniture.

'Tis a world
Where all is bought, and nothing's worth the price.

If Man makes Conscience, then being good
Is only being worldly wise,
And universal brotherhood
A comfortable compromise.
