Additional quotes by Hugh Kingsmill

Charity may cover a multitude of sins, but success transmutes them into virtues.

What, still alive at twenty-two,
A clean upstanding chap like you?What still alive at twenty-two,
Sure, if your throat ’tis hard to slit,
Slit your girl’s, and swing for it.

Like enough, you won't be glad,
When they come to hang you, lad:
But bacon's not the only thing
That's cured by hanging from a string.
