If anyone assumes that going one's own way is the easy way, they are very much in error. There's no harder way to go.

Norman Alfred William Lindsay (22 February 1879 – 21 November 1969) was an Australian artist, sculptor, writer, editorial cartoonist and scale modeler, as well as being a highly talented boxer.

The Magic Pudding

The Salt Junk Sarah

Oh, rolling round the ocean,

From a far and foreign land,

May suit the common notion

That a sailor's life is grand.

But as for me, I'd sooner be

A roaring here at home

About the rolling, roaring life

Of them that sails the foam.

For the homeward-bounder's chorus,

Which he roars across the foam,

Is all about chucking a sailor's life,

And settling down at home.

Home, home, home,

That's the song of them that roam,

The song of the roaring, rolling sea

Is all about rolling home.
