Former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser:

Quote

Malcolm Fraser's schoolmates nicknamed him 'Freezer' because they thought him cold and aloof. Later, colleagues called him 'The Prefect' or 'Chairman Mal' because they saw him as dictatorial and unbending. His phrase 'Life wasn't meant to be easy', reflecting his belief in the old-fashioned virtues of duty, honour and obedience, has become part of the Australian language. Spoken by a man from a background of wealth and privilege, it appealed to the ironical Australian sense of humour.

Hey Octavius, all these years we here in Oz have been laughing at Mr. Fraser and it wasn't even original! You've shattered 30 years of Australian history.
