In time the Rockies may crumble Gibraltar may tumble They're only made of clay, But our love is here to stay.

-Gershwin, Ira originally Israel Gershowitz
  'Love Is Here to Stay', sung by KennyBaker in The Goldwyn Follies (music by George Gershwin).

Then strip lads, and to it, though sharp be the weather, And if, by mischance, you should happen to fall, There are worse things in life than a tumble on the heather And life is itself a game of football.

-Scott, Sir Walter
  On a matchbetween the Scottish teams Ettrick andSelkirk, published in the EdinburghJournal.
