Oh, do you think Paterson was just trying to be poetic, Neville?

[manfredvijars]

One of my favourites is George Essex Evans' The Women of the West:

The red sun robs their beauty, and in weariness and pain,
The slow years steal that nameless grace that never comes again.
And there are hours men cannot soothe, and words men cannot say,
The nearest woman's face may be a hundred miles away.

Also Henry Lawson's Reedy River:
Then home along the river, that night they rode a race,
And the moonlight lent a a glory to Mary Campbell's face.
I pleaded for our future, all through that moonlight ride,
Until our weary horses drew closer side by side.

[Zondrae]

oowahhh! (I wish I could spell better)
I am pleased to see that most of the offerings so far - have quoted the authors name.
Am I allowed to include my favourite quotes? These are more philosophy than poetry, I guess, however they are still my favourites.

"Life goes on within you, or without you." George Harrison
"Life is what happens to you while your busy making other plans." John Lennon.

Then there is 'THE GOLDEN RULE' (but the original source and exact words are often debated)
"Do unto others as you would have them do to you."

[Maureen K Clifford]

"All the world is queer save thee and me, and even thou art a little queer". Robert Owen

A saying that my Mum uses all the time and it has now become a family homily

Don't let the sun go down on your wrath - Ephesians 4.26

Another of her favourites that she spouted every time someone was having a blue and one she earnestly trots out to the young ones in our family today. My perverted sense of humour sees me giggle every time some one in the family uses them.

Here are some great lines by Joe Pug:

Everything that you were meant for,
Everything that you were born to do,
Does not need you to do it.
Somebody else was born to do it too.

[Neville Briggs]

Another great line is John O'Brien talking about the girl he admired in The Old Bush School

" And I used to swap her dinners at the old bush school "

[Glenny Palmer]

If you never go within, you will go without.

...
Is that something like the cat that crept into the crypt, cra**ed and crept out again... it went within, but if it hadn't of done it might have gone without... have i got it... have I...
