Summer is winding down, and the sunny days and green leaves will soon be replaced with a chilly breeze and an array of orange and brown. The seasons are changing and with that, some inspirational and wise quotes seem to pair nicely. François-Marie Arouet, otherwise known as Voltaire, was a French writer, historian, and philosopher who was known for his wit. Here are some of his greatest (though there are many to choose from) words of wisdom.

It's September, which means that communities and charities all over Canada (and globally) are preparing for the Annual Terry Fox Run, in commemoration of Terry's Marathon of Hope, 36 years ago. Along his 143 day/5,373 km run from St. Johns to Thunder Bay, he had some very important things to say.

Terry didn't make it across Canada, but it doesn't matter, because he inspired us all. Thanks for everything, Terry.

Most people have dream of running away at some point in their life; job's not going too well, not sure if you'll get that raise, get approved for a mortgage, etc... sometimes, it's just simpler to dash off to the woods and just pretend that you can live in nature and not worry about shit.

Well, a couple did that, 24 years ago, and they haven't looked back since.

Heroes come in all shapes and sizes and Tuesday one came in the form of Florida State wide receiver Travis Rudolph. Rudolph is one of the most electrifying players in the country and by most accounts, a future high NFL draft pick. His play on the field gives defensive coordinators fits. What he did Tuesday, however, took place off the field and makes all that other stuff seem insignificant.

Everybody's got a dream, and sometimes, even with hard work, it stays out of reach. But who says that it has to always stay that way? We don't! We're all for people accomplishing their dreams and finding their happy ending, and we love to share those stories.

For example, due to the kindness of one gentleman in Lethbridge, Alberta, the owner of Whitbie's Fish & Chips might actually get his.

And it's all due to one post on Facebook.

It took only one Facebook post to give this guy his dream! (10 Photos)

While everyone was painfully focused on what was happening on stage at the very last Tragically Hip show in Kingston, ON this past weekend, there were some that took time away from tweeting about the show to tweeting about something else.

Apparently there was a guy in a Dion Phaneuf Maple Leafs jersey, making out with a girl during several songs and people were perplexed. Soon, the hashtag #PhaneufGuy started trending on twitter.

We all need that person to lean on, who's got your back; the Robin to your Batman, the Marshall to your Ted Mosby, the Watson to your Holmes. Sometimes, you find that forbidden bromance in a special place, like the Olympics.

Oh, the unbridled chemistry and true camaraderie between our very own Andre Degrasse and Usain Bolt has been legendary, and has led to some seriously funny comments on Twitter.

Read 'em, and laugh!

When you meet actor Robert Knepper, best known for his role as Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell on Prison Break, you'd think he might not be a nice guy. Only because we've never seen the guy play anything other than a shady character. In real life, though, he's just about the sweetest guy and just this week, he saved a lost Canada Goose from getting itself hurt.

That, in of itself, might not be so noteworthy, but it's the message that he wrote on Instagram that will pull at your heart.
