And the American I was imparting this insight to interrupted me with: "The difference between America and Canada is that Americans don't care what the difference between America and Canada is."

"Finally, I would remind you to notice where the claim of consensus is invoked. Consensus is invoked only in situations where the science is not solid enough. Nobody says the consensus of scientists agrees that E=mc2. Nobody says the consensus is that the sun is 93 million miles away. It would never occur to anyone to speak that way. "

“Diplomacy is the art of saying ‘Nice doggie’ until you can find a rock.”

My favorite from that movie: "It's not how far you go, it's how go you far."

I don't remember that line. Who said it and when?

Dean Cameron says it, I forget when. One of the guys just asked if they were taking things too far. I forget what they were about to do.

"And we all know that in football if you stand still you go backwards."

"They (Rosenborg) have won 66 games, and they've scored in all of them."

You can stand still and go backwards. Trains and treadmills come to mind.

And also, own goals. So there.

Err.......not quite. They won 66 games. Therefore they HAD to have scored. You can't win otherwise. Therefore it's a given. Geddit now?

And oh yeah, football isn't played on treadmills. Or trains.

I saw Bob Geldof last night at a dinner in his honor and he shared this quote (and quote within a quote) which he said has inspired him greatly for many years:

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way."

"I learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets:"

"Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!"

- W. H. Murray, "The Scottish Himalayan Expedition"
