Canadians can easily 'pass for American' as long as we don't accidentally use metric measurements or apologize when hit by a car.

It is remarkable how easily and insensibly we fall into a particular route, and make a beaten track for ourselves. I had not lived there a week before my feet wore a path from my door to the pond-side; and though it is five or six years since I trod it, it is still quite distinct. It is true, I fear, that others may have fallen into it, and so helped to keep it open. The surface of the earth is soft and impressible by the feet of men; and so with the paths which the mind travels. How worn and dusty, then, must be the highways of the world, how deep the ruts of tradition and conformity!

Henry David Thoreau

The intangible, as you can guess, creates some decidedly strange and perceived dichotomies for scientific interpretations. Ask a scientist what the definition of electricity is and he might rattle off, It is the physical phenomena arising from the reaction of electrons and protons Note the word phenomena in the above statement - it is the key word. It is used as a reference in the philosophical usage rather than as a scientific justification.

If we want to truly regain the public's trust, we can provide greater accountability and transparency with a simple step. Let's start by communicating to our constituents about the votes we take.

Melissa Bean

We are intelligent beings: intelligent beings cannot have been formed by a crude, blind, insensible being: there is certainly some difference between the ideas of Newton and the dung of a mule. Newton's intelligence, therefore, came from another intelligence

Voltaire

I have got instincts that, I think, are very much in tune with people's very keen sense to see something different. I did not dream of being in politics since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. I was not involved in student politics, or not in that partisan way.

Nick Clegg

Loved once for ever loved: how surely sounds This gospel to me since I learned to list Truth from thy lips, mine own evangelist. What thought presumes to set now any bounds To Love whose being informs us and surrounds?

John Barlas

Each meeting occurs at the precise moment for which it was meant. Usually, when it will have the greatest impact on our lives.

Nadia Scrieva

With my schedule being so crazy, I can't call every day or hang out with my friends like I used to and that's definitely sad.

Jordin Sparks

Most women are wise to the fact that lots of men love a cat-fight, and thus go out of their way not to give them one.

Julie Burchill

When I am able to resist the temptation to judge others, I can see them as teachers of forgiveness in my life, reminding me that I can only have peace of mind when I forgive rather than judge.

Gerald Jampolsky

If you've never eaten while crying you don t know what life tastes like.
