Additional quotes by Alfred Austin

Never fear to weep;
For tears are summer showers to the soul,
To keep it fresh and green.

If you are not something of a philosopher,—and by philosophy I understand a serene temper, and the maintaining of an equable mind under the sharpest disappointments,—I do not advise you to cultivate, or at any rate to grow enamoured of, a garden.

Repress your antipathies, cultivate your sympathies.
