I have always felt very fortunate to be have good people. You know, talent will carry you for so far but the values of the people around that should make the difference.

A hockey team is like a puzzle. Every piece is vital.

The beauty of coaching is that you are working with human beings. I feel very comfortable with my staff that we can make a difference, that we can make a difference on the ice.

I wish that we could tumble them in the dryer for 30 minutes and get them to shrink, but that won't happen.

Sometimes you have to go outside your boundaries. You have to jump over that fence, but I always felt very comfortable (in my jobs) because I worked with some good people.

Personally I don't believe in standing on the ice, or jamming the blueline, waiting. I have always told my players that hockey has to be played on your toes.

I have always trusted my instincts, I took some bold decisions in my life.....many people may say they were crazy risks.

Books were not looked upon as things unobtainable due to economic circumstances or class status. My grandfather stole an entire set of Dicken's from the local library.

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source.

Anyone who thinks that his time is too valuable to spend keeping quiet will eventually have no time for God and his brother, but only for himself and for his own follies.

I can't seem to stay out of my own way.

I've been a teacher at the college level, in composition mostly, and I've been an editor on magazines.

Time will be your friend or your enemy; it will promote you or expose you.

I crave cantaloupe like a crazy person. But I put salt all over it, so I don't know if it's that healthy.

I think that sense of always traveling has something to do with anonymity and privacy and pleasure in having a very clear, very reductive life.

A woman may be a mother, a sister, a business woman, or she may own a business. Woman do many things, and it is important that we do it with grace and style.

Every day can be like Christmas in its love and its peace if our hearts open up and make room for love. The holy child is waiting to be born in every instant, not just once a year.

Worry worships the words of the enemy
