Quote: "This for the waxen Heath, and that for the Wattle-bloom,
This for the Maple-leaf, and that for the southern Broom.
The Law that ye make shall be law and I do not press my will,
Because ye are Sons of The Blood and call me Mother still."
--Rudyard Kipling

Quote: "Some ha'e meat and canna' eat,
And some may eat that want it;
But we ha'e meat and we can eat,
and sae the Lord be thankit."
--Robert Burns
