More quotes by Banjo Paterson

All men are born free and equal; and each man is entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of horse racing.

With Mr Smythers to think was to act. He was not a man who believed in allowing grass to grow under his feet. His motto was "Up and be doing—somebody."

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he watched and waited till his "Billy" boiled,
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me."

I saw bank booms ... land booms, silver booms, Northern Territory booms, and they all had one thing in common—they always burst.

A man without one redeeming vice.
