I didn't want to do a book just to do a book. I wanted to do a book that, if you should read it, you might take one thing from it. Until that was clear in my mind, I wasn't going to do one.

You don't win by being good. You win with hard work and sacrifice. Without that, skill is just potential.

Forget about style; worry about results.

You never know how a single interaction with a person might affect their life, so you must constantly try to be at your best.

Blood, sweat, tears. No practice tomorrow 'cause there's no one left to beat.

Hockey is a tough game.

When you're young, you don't realize the sacrifices that people are making for you.

I couldn't wait to get on the ice. I couldn't wait to get to practice. As a kid I couldn't wait to shoot pucks or play in parking lots, or play on the river or play on the bay.

Everyone should have the same opportunity, and in many areas that's not the case because programs are built around the elite.

There are no environments where you're only going to win, because life just isn't like that.

Minor sports in the community is fun and recreation for everyone, not just the elite. I think back to my days in minor hockey and those are my fondest memories, having fun.

Success is...knowing your purpose in life, growing to reach your maximum potential, andsowing seeds that benefit others.

The rules are simple: they lie to us, we know they're lying, they know we know they're lying, but they keep lying to us, and we keep pretending to believe them.

Why should some people have such a hard time during their few years on this earth?

The best way to persuade is with your ears.

The land was then covered with morasses and forests, which spread to a boundless extent, whenever man has ceased to exercise his dominion over the earth.

When one door closes, another one opens, but sometimes we wait too long looking at the closed door, and never realize that another door has been opened.

Many times I feel different like a different person.

It simply works. You do it twice a year. Who cares? And it balances my smoking and drinking.

I am part of a divine essence. I don't have to become anything. I already am.
