I span and Eve span,
More quotes by Mary Gilmore
Never allow the thoughtless to delcare
That we have no tradition here!
Youth troubles over eternity; age grasps at a day and is satisfied to have even the day.
Never admit the pain,
Bury it deep;
Only the weak complain.
Complaint is cheap.

To call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it is man's injustice to woman.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men and women are created equal.
