A good relationship is with someone who knows all your insecurities and imperfections but still loves you for who you are.

Travel. As much as you can. As far as you can. As long as you can. Life’s not meant to be lived in one place.

The two hardest things in life are hello for the first time and goodbye for the last.

Be proud of yourself for how far you have come, and never stop pushing to be the best you can be.

When you remember a past event, you are actually remembering the last time you remembered it, not the event itself.

Don't be afraid of change. You may end up losing something good, but you will probably end up gaining something better.

80% of people remain quiet even when they really want to say something in order to avoid an argument with someone they care about.

Never blame anyone in your life. Good people bring you happiness, bad people bring you experience.

Psychology fact: The people who smile, laugh and joke around the most are usually the unhappiest.

People who get mad at each other over silly things, are usually the ones who care about each other the most

5 Things To Know About Patrick Brown

Not Exactly A Newcomer

Brown is a three-time MP representing the Ontario riding of Barrie. He was first elected to the House of Commons in 2006.

Before running for federal office, he served as a city councillor in Barrie. He was first elected to council at the age of 22.

Avid Hockey Player

Brown is the popular host of "Hockey Night in Barrie." His charity tournament for the Royal Victoria Hospital has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars and featured Hockey Night in Canada's Don Cherry and Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

Also, he's been endorsed by Wayne Gretzky.


He's Friends With India's PM

India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi refers to Brown as “Patrick Bhai” – or brother, according to The Globe and Mail.

Brown has been to India more than a dozen times, according to TVO's Steve Paikin.

He's A 'Pragmatic Conservative'

Speaking on CBC's Metro Morning, Brown said that he would support good ideas, regardless of which party they come from. 

"This gang that ran the party, they came out and voted against the last budget without even seeing it. And my philosophy is this: there's no monopoly on a good idea," he said.

Double-Duty

While campaigning for the Ontario PC leadership, Brown kept his federal seat.

Brown's campaign communications director told CBC that since Confederation, only 35 MPs have run for a provincial party leadership without stepping down from the House of Commons, including Jean Charest, Brian Tobin, Catherine Callbeck and Bob Rae.
