A few wise Ozzie Quotes.


Before you criticise someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticise them, you're a mile away and have their shoes - anon

The Australian nation is a nation of blow-ins and we've got the lot here – bog Irish, reffos, dagos, wogs, slopes, you name it Bill Leak - cartoonist

A fair go for all, regardless of ethnicity, race, religion, except for Poms, Seppos and Kiwis - anon

It may be that your sole purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others - anon

I do not pretend that I have led a blameless life, or that one fault justifies another, but the public in judging a case like mine should remember that the darkest life may now have a bright side Ned Kelly - bushranger
