Parliamentary time, can be wasted in kid-glove politics and nothing effective be done. I came to this House desiring to do something definitely along… - Andrew MacLaren

Art is not the plaything of the wealthy, but is the spirit of beauty which permeates the whole of Nature, and gives forth her message to all who can really appreciate it, make it their own, and attach their various artistic meanings to it.

The home is the place where the woman has to bring forth her children and the place in which the little children touch the knee and ask the first question and receive the first answer. It is the home, as I said before, that marks the beginning of the spiritual development of the race.

The greatness of an artist depends on selecting and interpreting whatever phase in Nature may appeal to his sense of beauty.
