I think the greatest lesson I have just recently learned is how powerful the mind is, informing our decision making unknowingly.

Young people need to vote. They need to get out there. Every vote counts. Educate yourself too. Don't just vote. Know what you're voting for, and stand by that.

Junior high is so much worse than high school because at least in high school different is more accepted, celebrated actually: all the girls with blue hair and gothic Hello Kitty backpacks.

The difference between listening to a radio sermon and going to church...is almost like the difference between calling your girl on the phone and spending an evening with her.

I don't really know what I want, other than good sequences, whatever that means. What I find is always a matter of chance, judgment, and luck.

I have big hope for the Canadian government to help Somalia with something concrete and tangible. I haven't seen that.

Love of God is not always the same as love of good.

Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward; they may be beaten, but they may start a winning game.

The unfortunate do not pity the unfortunate.

Bread and books: food for the body and food for the soul - what could be more worthy of our respect, and even love?
