More quotes by Alfred Austin
Hospitality should be accidental, spontaneous, and impulsive, not pre-arranged and calculated.
Women are more frequently charming than men, because they are less self-conscious.
Whatever else he may do, a critic reveals and criticises himself.
Show me your garden, provided it be your own, and I will tell you what you are like.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
