I would live the same life over if I had to live again,
And the chances are I go where most men go.

More quotes by Adam Lindsay Gordon

Life is mostly froth and bubble;
Two things stand like stone,
Kindness in another's trouble,
Courage in your own.

Onward onward! must we travel?
When will come the goal?
Riddle I may not unravel,
Cease to vex my soul.

Question not, but live and labour
Till yon goal be won,
Helping every feeble neighbour,
Seeking help from none;
Life is mostly froth and bubble;
Two things stand like stone,
Kindness in another's trouble,
Courage in your own.

Let me slumber in the hollow where the wattle blossoms wave,
With never stone or rail to fence my bed;
Should the sturdy station children pull the bush flowers on my grave,
I may chance to hear them romping overhead.
