If Man makes Conscience, then being good

And universal brotherhood
A comfortable compromise.

Additional quotes by Alfred Austin

Death is the looking-glass of life wherein
Each man may scan the aspect of his deeds.

Is life worth living? Yes, so long
As there is wrong to right,
Wail of the weak against the strong,
Or tyranny to fight;

Your logic may be good,
But dialectics never saved a soul.

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