Princess Mary of Denmark Quotes
"The Sydney Opera House has the ability to move us, not only with its visual magnificence but also what it holds inside and what it was built for - the arts." ~Princess Mary of Denmark
(The Sydney Opera House is a masterpiece of timeless beauty and simplicity designed by Dane Jorn Utzon (on its 40th Birthday Celebration, 27 October 2013)
"The way I see it, is that you should focus on where you are here and now. Perhaps it's more a principle of how to live life. You never know what the future holds." ~Princess Mary of Denmark, 40th Birthday, Hello Magazine 12 February 2012 Issue
"Domestic violence, bullying and loneliness, they are our three focus areas. Those three areas were chosen because they all have links to social isolation and many of them are very taboo or overlooked. The abused woman, the bullied child and the lonely adolescent feel very, very alone in the world with their problems and will often never share them." ~HRH Crown Princess Mary of Denmark (2016)

"PM takes stick to economic pessimists" -AAP
"As prime minister, I am concerned that left unchecked, this kind of distorted coverage could continue to spread." ~JG
"Even the most pessimistic predictions were themselves statements that the glass was actually three quarters or four fifths full." ~JG
"I'm not talking here about criticism of the government's economic policies - not at all - I'm referring to glaring misstatements about the economy itself." ~Julia Gillard, CEDA's State of the Nation conference in Canberra.
"If irrational exuberance has an opposite it's probably unreasonable pessimism and we've witnessed that in some quarters these past three weeks." ~Julia Gillard, June 24, 2013
"Some commentators ignored two important features of the national accounts: new dwelling investment rose by 10.2 per cent - the strongest annual growth in 10 years - and non-rural commodity export volumes were up 13.2 per cent." ~JG
"The continued pessimism was not being matched by the performance of key economic indicators, adding low expectations could themselves become an economic problem." ~JG
"The most recent national accounts data showed the Australian economy was growing, stable and strong."

From FB Post
Prime Minister Julia Gillard - Australia
'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT... Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture.Since the terrorist attacks on Bali, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians.'
'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.'
'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language!'
'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you,then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.'
'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.'
'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, 'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.'
'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country that accepted you.'

Guy de Maupassant Quotes
"It is the lives we encounter that make life worth living." ~Guy de Maupassant
