Now when I was a young man I carried me pack\nAnd I lived the free life of the rover.\nFrom the Murray's green basin to the dusty outback,\nWell, I waltzed my Matilda all over.\nThen in 1915, my country said, "Son,\nIt's time you stop ramblin', there's work to be done."\nSo they gave me a tin hat, and they gave me a gun,\nAnd they marched me away to the war. \n\nAnd the band played "Waltzing Matilda,"\nAs the ship pulled away from the quay,\nAnd amidst all the cheers, the flag waving, and tears,\nWe sailed off for Gallipoli.\nAnd how well I remember that terrible day,\nHow our blood stained the sand and the water;\nAnd of how in that hell that they call Suvla Bay\nWe were butchered like lambs at the slaughter.\nJohnny Turk, he was waitin', he primed himself well;\nHe showered us with bullets, and he rained us with shell --\nAnd in five minutes flat, he'd blown us all to hell,\nNearly blew us right back to Australia. \nBut the band played "Waltzing Matilda,"\nWhen we stopped to bury our slain,\nWell, we buried ours, and the Turks buried theirs,\nThen we started all over again.\nAnd those that were left, well, we tried to survive\nIn that mad world of blood, death and fire.\nAnd for ten weary weeks I kept myself alive\nThough around me the corpses piled higher.\nThen a big Turkish shell knocked me arse over head,\nAnd when I woke up in me hospital bed\nAnd saw what it had done, well, I wished I was dead --\nNever knew there was worse things than dying. \nFor I'll go no more "Waltzing Matilda,"\nAll around the green bush far and free --\nTo hump tents and pegs, a man needs both legs,\nNo more "Waltzing Matilda" for me.\nSo they gathered the crippled, the wounded, the maimed,\nAnd they shipped us back home to Australia.\nThe armless, the legless, the blind, the insane,\nThose proud wounded heroes of Suvla.\nAnd as our ship sailed into Circular Quay,\nI looked at the place where me legs used to be,\nAnd thanked Christ there was nobody waiting for me,\nTo grieve, to mourn and to pity. \nBut the band played "Waltzing Matilda,"\nAs they carried us down the gangway,\nBut nobody cheered, they just stood and stared,\nThen they turned all their faces away.\nAnd so now every April, I sit on my porch\nAnd I watch the parade pass before me.\nAnd I see my old comrades, how proudly they march,\nReviving old dreams of past glory,\nAnd the old men march slowly, all bones stiff and sore,\nThey're tired old heroes from a forgotten war\nAnd the young people ask "What are they marching for?"\nAnd I ask meself the same question. \nBut the band plays "Waltzing Matilda,"\nAnd the old men still answer the call,\nBut as year follows year, more old men disappear\nSomeday, no one will march there at all.\nWaltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda.\nWho'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?\nAnd their ghosts may be heard as they march by the billabong,\nWho'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me?\n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have not seen the movie so I am not certain what specific quotation you are seeking, but in researching this answer, have watched the movie trailer, I know I will have to see this film. \nIn the trailer she says "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure..." now I am searching for the author of that quote (insert eye-rolling smiley here!!)

"Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception."\n\n- Mark Twain\n\n\nCheney made the most and everyone got rich on arms stocks. Oil companies are at record profits despite being at the highest prices to consumers.
