To be aware of a single shortcoming within oneself is more useful than to be aware of a thousand in somebody else. Rather than speaking badly about people and in ways that will produce friction and unrest in their lives, we should practice a purer perception of them, and when we speak of others, speak of their good qualities.
- Dalai Lama
You can't be envious and happy at the same time
- Frank Tyger quotes
Love doesn't make the world go round, it makes the ride worthwhile.
- F.P. Jones

[About his love of hockey] "It's terrible for a person's psyche to love something so much and not be great at it." - Brendan Fehr
This one really resonated with me not just for hockey, but also for playing and instrument and being able to sing. I wish I could . . . I wish I could . . . I wish I could :(
"What the CANUCK happened?!? - Esquimalt Barber Shop
"One final paragraph of advice: Do not burn yourself out. Be as I am-a reluctant enthusiast... a part time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it is still there. So get out there and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, encounter the grizz, climb the mountains. Run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, that lovely, mysterious and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to your body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this much: I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those deskbound people with their hearts in a safe deposit box and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this: you will outlive the bastards."”
