    The Nutriment that feeds the Mind?

    Beyond the horizon, or even the knowledge, of the cities along the coast, a great, creative impulse is at work—the only thing, after all, that gives this continent meaning and a guarantee of the future. Every Australian ought to climb up here, once in a way, and glimpse the various, manifold life of which he is a part.
    Vance Palmer (1885–1959)

    Unhappy is the man for evermair
    That tills the sand and sawis in the air;
    But twice unhappier is he, I lairn,
    That feidis in his hairt a mad desire
    And follows on a woman thro the fire,
    Led by a blind and teachit by a bairn.
    —Mark Alexander Boyd (1563–1601)

    The Law of Triviality ... briefly stated, it means that the time spent on any item of the agenda will be in inverse proportion to the sum involved.
    —C. Northcote Parkinson (1909–1993)
