Canada is better off because of Ed Broadbent's selfless service. An advocate for equality and champion for justice, his commitment to helping others never wavered. He leaves behind an incredible legacy - one that will, no doubt, continue to inspire people across the country.

Die young, and I shall accept your death-but not if you have lived without glory, without being useful to your country, without leaving a trace of your existence: for that is not to have lived at all.

No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.

I have an irrepressible desire to live till I can be assured that the world is a little better for my having lived in it.

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

My mama always used to tell me: 'If you can't find somethin' to live for, you best find somethin' to die for.'
