Paddling a canoe is a source of enrichment and inner renewal. Pierre Trudeau

What sets a canoeing expedition apart is that it purifies you more rapidly and inescapably than any other. Travel a thousand miles by train and you are a brute; pedal five hundred on a bicycle and you remain basically a bourgeois; paddle a hundred in a canoe and you are already a child of nature. Pierre Trudeau
Two men quarreling do not share the same seat on a canoe. Nigerian Proverb
