My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair.
So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world.
-- Jack Layton (1950 - 2011)

I had the privilege of photographing his optimistic smile during a number of his campaigns in Northern Ontario

Amen! What a lovely guy. I cried (on the bus) when I was reading the letter he wrote.
