Hysterically funny, amazingly talented people. That's what I think of when I think of Canada. That, and cold beer. And mountains. ~ Richard Patrick
Canada Day quotes by Richard Patrick
I am so excited about Canadians ruling the world. ~ John Diefenbaker
Canada Day quotes by John Diefenbaker
It's Canada Day." "So?" "So, I'm in Canada." "Why?" "Because it's Canada Day! Come on, Garrett!" Zane ~ Abigail Roux
Canada Day quotes by Abigail Roux
I might be the hazardous waste site that polluted it, but Cape Breton Island is still my home. ~ Rebecca McNutt
Canada Day quotes by Rebecca McNutt
We wish nothing more, but we will accept nothing less. Masters in our own house we must be, but our house is the whole of Canada. ~ Pierre Trudeau
Canada Day quotes by Pierre Trudeau
Creosote made Mandy think of the thrill of rushing through a garden sprinkler as a kid, of playing washer toss in the backyard, of spending nights in the neighbors' huge in-ground swimming pool when she was twelve, throwing glow sticks in the turquoise water during Canada Day block parties. She thought of Jud for a moment, how he'd loved doing all those things when he was a kid, but how, as he got older, it was all about popularity, sports, a life of illusion… and without warning, a totally different kind of memory filled her mind – the dull feeling of her head hitting the concrete walls near the wood shop at her old high school, the sounds of kids laughing, the sharp smell of sawdust, the buzzing of electric sanders nearby, the sound of Jud laughing while he beat her up… without realizing it, she'd started crying noiselessly. ~ Rebecca McNutt
Canada Day quotes by Rebecca McNutt
Canada is the only country in the world that knows how to live without an identity. ~ Marshall McLuhan
Canada Day quotes by Marshall McLuhan
Our hopes are high. Our faith in the people is great. Our courage is strong. And our dreams for this beautiful country will never die. ~ Pierre Trudeau
Canada Day quotes by Pierre Trudeau
Canadians are the people who learned to live without the bold accents of the natural ego-trippers of other lands. ~ Marshall McLuhan
Canada Day quotes by Marshall McLuhan
After all, we fought the Yanks in 1812 and kicked them the hell out of our country - but not with blanks. ~ Farley Mowat
Canada Day quotes by Farley Mowat
The great themes of Canadian history are as follows: Keeping the Americans out, keeping the French in, and trying to get the Natives to somehow disappear. ~ Will Ferguson
Canada Day quotes by Will Ferguson
When I'm in Canada, I feel this is what the world should be like. ~ Jane Fonda
Canada Day quotes by Jane Fonda
Every Day is Canada Day for new Canadians ~ Maureen Haddock
Canada Day quotes by Maureen Haddock
It seems that Canada's historic mission is to come to the selfless aid both of its friends and of complete strangers, and then, once the crisis is over, to be well and truly ignored. Canada is the perpetual wallflower that stands on the edge of the hall, waiting for someone to come and ask her for a dance. ~ Kevin Myers
Canada Day quotes by Kevin Myers
With or without the Royals, we are not Americans. Nor are we British. Or French. Or Void. We are something else. And the sooner we define this, the better. ~ Will Ferguson
Canada Day quotes by Will Ferguson
Canada Day comes and goes modestly every year. Sure, there are retail sales promotions and a long weekend. But there isn't bluster or commodity in Canadian celebration. Canada isn't big on bunting. Or jet flyovers, fireworks, marching bands or military pomp. ~ Rick Moranis
Canada Day quotes by Rick Moranis
We have it all. We have great diversity of people, we have a wonderful land, and we have great possibilities. So all those things combined there's nowhere else I'd rather be. ~ Bob Rae
Canada Day quotes by Bob Rae
Some years later I met Queen Elizabeth II, in our capital Ottawa at a Canada Day celebration. David Foster and I were doing the show and we both met her afterwards. She told me how much she loved the Canadian Railroad Trilogy. She looked at me and said, "oh, that song", and then said again, "that song", and that was all she said. ~ Gordon Lightfoot
Canada Day quotes by Gordon Lightfoot
Canada is the essence of not being. Not English, not American, it is the mathematic of not being. And a subtle flavour - we're more like celery as a flavour. ~ Mike Myers
Canada Day quotes by Mike Myers
I think there's nothing more amazing than helping people every day. ~ Naomie Harris
Canada Day quotes by Naomie Harris
I tend to wear monochromatic outfits - all one colour from head to toe. I did that when I was younger and still do that to this day. ~ Suzy Amis
Canada Day quotes by Suzy Amis
How was your day?" he asked.
I faltered, unaccustomed to the question. The look on my face must have been strange because he laughed at me and said, "Okay… don't tell me then."
Considering the question I asked, "Do people normally want a real answer to that?"
I'd only been asked for reports by my father or his team.
Julian thought for a moment and shrugged, "I suppose not. Most people say 'good' or 'fine' even when they don't mean it."
He mistook my question for simple speculation instead of a lack of understanding. Nodding I snickered and said, "Then it was fine. Yours?"
He grinned, "Good. ~ Kay Harding
Canada Day quotes by Kay Harding
One day you could be sitting on the top of the world, then the next it could be sitting on you, ~ J.J. McAvoy
Canada Day quotes by J.J. McAvoy
Everyone's entitled to a bad day. ~ Nicholas Sparks
Canada Day quotes by Nicholas Sparks
Work hard, but make time for you love, family and friends. Nobody remembers powerpoint presentations on your final day ~ Chetan Bhagat
Canada Day quotes by Chetan Bhagat
The man of science, the artist, the philosopher are attached to their nations as much as the day-laborer and the merchant. ~ Julien Benda
Canada Day quotes by Julien Benda
At the end of the day, you know, love does not happen between two perfect people as much as we would wish. ~ Hillary Clinton
Canada Day quotes by Hillary Clinton
I both wished and feared to see Mr. Rochester on the day which followed this sleepless night. I wanted to hear his voice again, yet feared to meet his eye. ~ Charlotte Bronte
Canada Day quotes by Charlotte Bronte
On the other hand, in a society whose communication component is becoming more prominent day by day, both as a reality and as an issue, it is clear that language assumes a new importance. ~ Jean Francois Lyotard
Canada Day quotes by Jean Francois Lyotard
The most important factors for a long life, I think, are partly in the genes; number two is lifestyle, which includes healthy diet and regular exercise. I walk, run and swim every day. However, I think too much exercise is also unhealthy because of over-stress; sometimes people who exercise too many hours per day die early. ~ John Gokongwei
Canada Day quotes by John Gokongwei
They had found out.

Before I could panic, I made myself stretch my fingers wide and take a calming breath. You already knew this was bound to happen. At least that's what I told myself.

The more I thought about it, the more I should have been appreciative that the people at the chapel in Las Vegas hadn't recognized him. Or that people on the street had been oblivious and hadn't seen us going in and out of there. Or that the receptionist at the acupuncturist hadn't snapped a picture on her phone and posted it online.

Because I might not understand all people, much less most of them, but I understood nosey folks. And nosey folks would do something like that without a second thought. Yet, I reminded myself that there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

It would be fine. So, one gossip site posted about us getting married. Whoop-de-do. There was probably a thousand sites just like it.

I briefly thought about Diana hearing about it, but I'd deal with that later. There was no use in getting scared now. She was the only one whose reaction I cared about. My mom and sisters' opinions and feelings weren't exactly registering at the top of my list now… or ever. I made myself shove them to the back of my thoughts. I was tired of being mad and upset; it affected my work. Plus, they'd made me sad and mad enough times in my life. I wasn't going to let them ruin another day.

Picking my phone up again, I quickly texted Aiden b ~ Mariana Zapata
Canada Day quotes by Mariana Zapata
Occasionally during the day, ask yourself: "How am I doing today and what can I do to do a better job? ~ Mark F. LaMoure
Canada Day quotes by Mark F. LaMoure
Lie you easy, dream you light,
And sleep you fast for aye;
And luckier may you find the night
Than ever you found the day. ~ A.E. Housman
Canada Day quotes by A.E. Housman
Nineteenth-century inventors of the steam engine used a physical theory which today is considered as scientifically false . In fact most of the inventors up to very recent times have been, for the most part, ignorant of the science of their day and have applied theories that have proved to be false. Moreover, even today a physical or chemical theory can change while its application continues untouched. The success of applied science, therefore, is no reason for accepting the infallibility of the scientific theories involved. There should be an intelligent and conscious criticism of science and its implications, both for those involved in the sciences, and most of all for those who are the recipients of the popularized versions of scientific theories. The philosophy of science has in certain cases tried to point to the lack of logical consistency in some scientific definitions and methods. But having surrendered itself to the fruits of the experimental and analytical methods, it cannot itself be an independent judge of modern science. ~ Seyyed Hossein Nasr
Canada Day quotes by Seyyed Hossein Nasr
Day is just a collection of hours. ~ Serj Tankian
Canada Day quotes by Serj Tankian
Beautiful Hannah. If you were mine, I'd lay you on silk sheets and wrap you up in ropes of pearls, and feed you honey from a silver spoon. Of course, you wouldn't be able to make all your high-minded judgments if you were a fallen woman ... but you wouldn't care. Because I would pleasure you, Hannah, every night, all night, until you forgot your own name. Until you were willing to do things that would shock you in the light of day. I would debauch you from your head down to your innocent little toes-"
"Oh, I despise you ... ~ Lisa Kleypas
Canada Day quotes by Lisa Kleypas
Dont waste time to hate fake people, they dont deserve to be a part of your memory...chill n get boozed in the joy of having good 1s "Happy Friendship Day".. ~ -sarvesh
Canada Day quotes by -sarvesh
A little rule, a little sway,
A sunbeam in a winter's day,
Is all the proud and mighty have
Between the cradle and the grave. ~ John Dyer
Canada Day quotes by John Dyer
So many people ask me this, but I tell them I look forward to each day because I love what I do. ~ Lillete Dubey
Canada Day quotes by Lillete Dubey
No need, no, need. Life is already too short to find it. ~ Jessica Day George
Canada Day quotes by Jessica Day George
Write what you love. Every day. ~ Michelle Bredeson
Canada Day quotes by Michelle Bredeson
I swear to God, Boss," he said one day. "Ya ain't never been a talker, but lately, if ya'd a had to rub two words together to make a fire, you'd a done froze to death. ~ Eli Easton
Canada Day quotes by Eli Easton
9/11 was my first day teaching at Harvard University. My classes were all canceled and I got back to town two days later. I'm one of those people who doesn't think the world has changed any at all since 9/11. It just seemed to be almost inevitable, something like that. That's one of the reasons why the backstory of Fay Grim goes all the way back into the '80s. I was trying to sketch out the continuity of all this hanky-panky between the security agencies of the world. ~ Hal Hartley
Canada Day quotes by Hal Hartley
And then, from behind me: "I thought about you. Every day."
I froze, my hand still holding the canvas flap.
Cal's voice was slightly hoarse as he continued. "Three weeks is a long time to wonder where someone is. All that time, I thought maybe I'd done the wrong thing, telling you to find the Brannicks.
I turned around then. I wanted to make a joke, or say something sarcastic, anything that would cut the tension enveloping us. Instead, I said, "I thought about you, too. ~ Rachel Hawkins
Canada Day quotes by Rachel Hawkins
will triumph over evil, and that, in the end, truth will be revealed and the story will come full circle. It all happens within a few pages, and it all happens on this earth. But we do not live in Hans Christian Andersen's world. We live in this world. As Christians, we know there will come a day when all tears will be wiped away, when peace and joy will be the only songs we know, but we have a long road to walk until that Day of the Lord. For the moment, we have to live with one another, with all the good and bad that come with it. The sad truth is that we will let one another down. We will bruise each other. We will fail. So how should we live in the midst of this reality? ~ Sheila Walsh
Canada Day quotes by Sheila Walsh
Sad people are too sad to do anything but drink brandy and sleep all day. ~ Carlton Mellick III
Canada Day quotes by Carlton Mellick III
Marcia was silent a moment. Then a sort of softer gleam came into her angry eye.

"Tell me some more about her," she said.

Adele clapped her hands.

"Ah, that's splendid," she said. "You're beginning to feel kinder. What we would do without our Lucia I can't imagine. I don't know what there would be to talk about."

"She's ridiculous!" said Marcia relapsing a little.

"No, you mustn't feel that," said Adele. "You mustn't laugh at her ever. You must just richly enjoy her."

"She's a snob!" said Marcia, as if this was a tremendous discovery.

"So am I: so are you: so are we all," said Adele. "We all run after distinguished people like--like Alf and Marcelle. The difference between you and Lucia is entirely in her favour, for you pretend you're not a snob, and she is perfectly frank and open about it. Besides, what is a duchess like you for except to give pleasure to snobs? That's your work in the world, darling; that's why you were sent here. Don't shirk it, or when you're old you will suffer agonies of remorse. And you're a snob too. You liked having seven--or was it seventy?--Royals at your dance."

"Well, tell me some more about Lucia," said Marcia, rather struck by this ingenious presentation of the case.

"Indeed I will: I long for your conversion to Luciaphilism. Now to-day there are going to be marvellous happenings... ~ E.F. Benson
Canada Day quotes by E.F. Benson
Be strong, little one. There's a reason you are here. Like anyone with a dream, you have a purpose, big or small. Never lose hope that your glowing star will one day join the sky of winners. Never
stop believing. ~ Charles Lee
Canada Day quotes by Charles Lee
Call on me in the day of trouble, and I will deliver, and thou shalt glorify me. ~ Daniel Defoe
Canada Day quotes by Daniel Defoe
If you see a defense team with dirt and mud on their backs they've had a bad day. ~ John Madden
Canada Day quotes by John Madden
I don't think there's anything on this planet that more trumpets life that the sunflower. For me that's because of the reason behind its name. Not because it looks like the sun but because it follows the sun. During the course of the day, the head tracks the journey of the sun across the sky. A satellite dish for sunshine. Wherever light is, no matter how weak, these flowers will find it. And that's such an admirable thing. And such a lesson in life. ~ Helen Mirren
Canada Day quotes by Helen Mirren
It's been said that I formed The Wallflowers to hide my name but, really, I've always wanted to be in a band - right from the day my friends and I soundproofed a garage with bed-covers for our first rehearsal. ~ Jakob Dylan
Canada Day quotes by Jakob Dylan
Whenever I'm having a bad day and have an attitude, I stay home. I keep it at home. ~ Michael Clarke Duncan
Canada Day quotes by Michael Clarke Duncan
One day the wind blew through the town, and oh, how merry it was! It whistled down the chimneys, and scampered round the corners, and sang in the tree tops. "Come and dance, come and dance, come and dance with me," that is what it seemed to say. ~ Maud Lindsay
Canada Day quotes by Maud Lindsay
In the case of two actors connecting with each other and trusting each other, our bodies have memories without us having to consciously think about it, so rather than think, "Oh, I must think about my daughter dying," you just let that go and trust that you have all the emotions you need in there, and by losing yourself in the scene, that stuff kicks in without having to spend the day thinking about horrific things happening to your own child. ~ Michael Sheen
Canada Day quotes by Michael Sheen
During the prayers of the day, there was one less "amen". ~ Phindiwe Nkosi
Canada Day quotes by Phindiwe Nkosi
This sort of day makes indoor work seem shameful. So working outside, whether in the garden or the woods or on the front porch ... , is a sacrament. ~ Robert Michael Pyle
Canada Day quotes by Robert Michael Pyle
You know, I wouldn't have done this a month ago. I wouldn't have done it then. Then I was avoiding. Now I'm just waiting. Things happen to me. They do. They have to go ahead and happen. You watch – you wait… Things still happen here and something is waiting to happen to me. I can tell. Recently my life feels like a bloodcurdling joke. Recently my life has taken on *form* Something is waiting. I am waiting. Soon, it will stop waiting – any day now. Awful things can happen any time. This is the awful thing. ~ Martin Amis
Canada Day quotes by Martin Amis
3 All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation, 4 and we have a priceless inheritance - an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay. 5 And through your faith, God is protecting you by his power until you receive this salvation, which is ready to be revealed on the last day for all to see. ~ Anonymous
Canada Day quotes by Anonymous
[Hermes addresses Prometheus :] To you, the clever and crafty, bitter beyond all bitterness, who has sinned against the gods in bestowing honors upon creatures of a day
to you, thief of fire, I speak. ~ Aeschylus
Canada Day quotes by Aeschylus
Back in the summer of 1941, they had stood to lose so much, it seemed, through the shame and ruination of exposure. Sammy could not have known that one day he would come to regard all the things that their loving each other had seemed to put at so much risk – his career in comic books, his relations with his family, his place in the world – as the walls of a prison, an airless, lightless keep from which there was no hope of escape….He recalled his and Tracy's parting at Penn Station on the morning of Pearl Harbor, in the first-class compartment of the Broadway Limited, their show of ordinary mute male farewell, the handshake, the pat on the shoulder, carefully tailoring and modulating their behavior through there was no one at all watching, so finely attuned to the danger of what they might lose that they could not permit themselves to notice what they had ~ Michael Chabon
Canada Day quotes by Michael Chabon
No matter how much you love someone, time heals your pain and your death wish. ~ Parul Wadhwa
Canada Day quotes by Parul Wadhwa
one day, the boy with a
difficult name laid with a
boy who shall remain
nameless in the sun & they
rolled a round waiting for
something to burn. the next
day, the boy with the
difficult name woke up in a
blue sweat, walked the rim
of the lake & though nothing
burned, something was
growing from the ashes, for
mosquitos flew away from
his skin, ticks latched onto
his ankle & turned to smoke,
weeds & willows bowed
green spines to him & he
swore he heard the dirt
singing his name

saying it right ~ Danez Smith
Canada Day quotes by Danez Smith
One day you will tell your story of how you've overcome what you are going through now, and it will become part of someone else's survival guide. ~ Ehraz Ahmed
Canada Day quotes by Ehraz Ahmed
Everyone must have felt that a cheerful friend is like a sunny day, which sheds its brightness on all around; and most of us can, as we choose, make of this world either a palace or a prison. ~ John Lubbock
Canada Day quotes by John Lubbock
Baseball is a soap opera that plays out day after day, one that a lot of elderly women watch until the characters and the plot becomes a part of their life. She got to enjoy the personal side of the players. They were her kids. The Braves were her family. ~ Bob Hope
Canada Day quotes by Bob Hope
Although it has been a carefully guarded secret by the watchdogs of the mainstream media, eugenics programs were never discontinued worldwide, with involuntary sterilization programs continuing in many countries to this day. ~ Jim Keith
