Would that the simple proverb

 Would that the simple maxim, that honesty is the best policy, might be laid to heart; that a sense of the true aim of life might elevate the tone of politics and trade till public and private honor become identical.

 I'm at a point in my life where I very much want to continue to work on public policy, on measures that we can adopt to improve life for all the citizens in the province. But I'm also at a point in my life where I want to do that without the demands of being in politics.

 Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight, For I never saw true beauty till this night

  Lord Thomas Babington Macaulay

  Myrna Loy

 Those kind of things really hurt, but they really remind you of why you're here and what kind of blessed position you're in as a football player. You live a comfortable life and make a lot of money. You should take what's given to you and make the most of it in your private life, but more than anything, your public life. You have a platform to do a lot of good. People will get behind you if your heart is in the right place.

 It was just him and me. He fought with honor. If it weren't for his honor, he and the others would have beaten me together. They might have killed me, then. His sense of honor saved my life. I didn't fight with honor... I fought to win.
  Orson Scott Card
