Wondering if the OLA 1984 was enacted to experiment whether a landlord would befriend a trespasser #shortbreak005

If equity and trust has taught me one thing, it’s to never be a trustee. You can sit like a rock or work like a beaver, once it appears you’ve slacked, you’re screwed. #shortbreak001

The moment when a privy council’s (pc) decision is favoured over that of a House of Lords’ (HoL) PC: Yo buddy, you ok? HoL: Shut up. PC: Oh c’mon, I don’t get much attention very often anyway! #shortbreak002

After s14(2) SOGA 1979, I’ve never worn new underwear without washing them first. #shortbreak003

When in doubt, ask E-Law resources :) Google is the consolation prize. #shortbreak004

When we laugh after being asked if we understood the pass year exam question, even our lecturers know we’re screwed. #shortbreak006

Remember those study group gatherings where each of us argue in one author’s voice so that our perspective of the law was whole? #shortbreak007

Law is not boring. In fact, there are popcorn moments. My personal favourite is when one Supreme Court judge slams the argument of another in a highly complicated manner to not offend his/her buddy. #shortbreak008

‘Why do you read law?’ If only I could answer, ‘Why wouldn’t I read law,’ in an interview. #shortbreak009

TV is not a necessity? I. Will. Kill. You. #shortbreak010

I never thought then I'd be doing what I'm doing now. At my high school, being on the girls soccer team was the cool thing to do, but that was definitely never going to happen for me, so I played music. Not because everyone thought it was awesome, but for the love of it.

Exercise mitigates the effects of stress - and stress, we know, shortens telomeres. In fact, early studies indicate that stress reduction techniques like meditation help people maintain the length of their telomeres.

Lawyers claim that their clients have been grossly mistreated, which is what criminal defense lawyers are paid to do.

I was a punk rocker. A full-bore, 1st-generation punk.

I am definitely as happy as I've ever been. Happier, I would say, than I've ever been.

In America there's lot of cool cities, but in Canada there's, like, well, Vancouver, Toronto and Halifax may be cool, but they're so expensive. Montreal is the only city that's affordable but also has buses and culture.

Grand Slam losses are hard. I treat myself after losses though, I usually go to McDonald's and I have a hamburger and you know, something. Because you know, you just need to be nice to yourself sometimes after the loss.

The only place I considered home was the boarding school, in Yorkshire, my parents sent me to.

Monday is great if I can spend it in bed. I'm a man of simple pleasures, really.

I have never been an innovator, a creative genius.

Obedience opens the door to the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost. And the spiritual gifts and abilities activated by the power of the Holy Ghost enable us to avoid deception - and to see, to feel, to know, to understand, and to remember things as they really are.

Some of us shorten our names or our noses or both... We Jews can be extremely neurotic and are inclined to become easily depressed. Most Jews seldom say, 'Have a nice day' or even have one. To be honest, I've never heard a Jew say that. We're just not that optimistic. Life is neither a bed of roses nor a bowl of cherries.

We're playing the same songs, the same way, that we have for years.

I personally feel I still have so much to learn as a writer; each novel is better than the one before, just because I'm getting better at it.

There are essentially two main reasons to hold a phone up at a show. First, to capture a memory for yourself, a reminder of the moment you're enjoying. And second, to share that moment with someone - to express your emotions socially. Both seem perfectly legitimate to me.

We must be willing to courageously invest in our city.

Whenever you have taken up work in hand, you must see it to the finish. That is the ultimate secret of success. Never, never, never give up!

The fact that books today are mostly a string of words makes it easier to forget the text. With the impact of the iPad and the future of the book being up for re-imagination, I wonder whether we'll rediscover the importance of making texts richer visually.

Good government is the outcome of private virtue.

I try not to look for messages in films.

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no ones definition of your life define yourself.

I think I'm going to give my baby her first food on Thanksgiving, make her some organic sweet potato. I'm very excited! It's going to be a big day and my husband is in charge of the turkey - he's the chef of the family!

When it comes to the battle of the molluscs, cephalopods win tentacles down.

Remembering that man is indeed the microcosm, the universe in miniature, the Divine Dance of the future should be able to convey with its slightest gestures some significance of the universe.
