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

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

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

Everybody who's a physician, who makes vaccines, who wants to find the cure for cancer. Everybody who wants to do any medical good for humankind got the passion for that before he or she was 10.

Probably the most reliable comfort music for me over the years has been Bach.

I'm not going to get into the ring with Tolstoy.

When I look back, I don't have regrets. In the moment I am really, really hard on myself, I'm definitely my own worst critic and can be my own worst enemy, and I'm trying very hard not to be that.

It's a story of little girls who are pressed into working in sweat shops in games, who spend all day doing repetitive grinding tasks like making shirts, which are then converted into gold and sold on eBay.

The ability to make love frivolously is the chief characteristic which distinguishes human beings from beasts.

I feel a lot of support from the people of Penrith and the Blue Mountains and will always remember the amazing welcome home I received after the London Olympics. But more importantly, it's during hard times that Westies come together.

One of my friends started a company in 1997, seven years before Facebook, called SocialNet. And they had all these ideas, and you could be, like, a cat, and I'd be a dog on the Internet, and we'd have this virtual reality, and we would just not be ourselves. That didn't work because reality always works better than any fake version of it.

Don't ever compare yourself to others. You are not a copy, you are an original. Craft your own individuality and sense of style and just be yourself. Trying to be someone else will only frustrate you and make you unhappy and miserable.

My teammates have put me in all different kinds of positions to score goals, and I can't say it enough, and I really through and through believe it in my heart that I'm only as good as my teammates allow me to be.

I'd always had an interest in physiotherapy and psychology.

I began photographing in 1946. Before that, I was a painter and drawer, with my mother and father's support. They were a bit pissed when I went into photography. They thought photographers were guys who took pictures at weddings.

The mothers heart is the childs schoolroom.

I have no choice about whether or not I have Parkinson's. I have nothing but choices about how I react to it. In those choices, there's freedom to do a lot of things in areas that I wouldn't have otherwise found myself in.

But thanks to my invention, my capitalist friends and I were able to bring the government to its knees.

Men in their late 50s often make very bad decisions.

Down on the ground, we seem to do anything but make lengthy, robust monologues. We can communicate in an instant almost anywhere. Gone is the slow old letter - itself a monologue, a sort of considered performance of best self - and in its place is the e-mail, the text, the SMS, the tweet.

My parents have a ridiculous work ethic; my dad just works, works, works, works, works. I think it would be hard to find a guy who's logged more hours than that guy.

The best description of the Old Testament that I heard was that it starts out as mythology, then it becomes legend, then it becomes history. In the mythological period - there is a distinct mythological period in the Old Testament, where the time spans are impossible and really just imagined.

The secret is to work less as individuals and more as a team. As a coach, I play not my eleven best, but my best eleven.

There is space for a different kind of investigative reporting that's about immersion and obsessive attention to detail and deep listening.

I don't know what I'll be like when I'm 60. I already have the traits of a retired gentleman.

I never really thought of myself as depressed so much as paralyzed by hope.

Nobody is accidentally in Alaska. The people who are in Alaska are there because they choose to be, so they've sort of got a real frontier ethic. The people are incredibly friendly, interesting, smart people - but they also stay out of each other's business.
