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

Developing better people should be the number one goal for any coach when dealing with kids. In trying to develop better people, we are going to develop more and better pros.

You hear all the time about European players playing the game. These players that come over at 17, 18 and 19, they just don't all of a sudden become skilled. From the time they were little fellas, they learned the fundamentals of the game. Let them create.

I've been a very lucky guy. I played on championship teams. I played for Canada. I've won some awards and I'm very proud of those accomplishments. But I don't think there's anything greater than to come home and to be recognized at home. This is the pinnacle.

The biggest thing we get out of it is seeing the kids smile. And hopefully we will also see that the lessons we're teaching - not only the fundamentals of hockey, but also the life values - are sinking in.

So many of today's programs are about trophies and jackets, and we think that's a big mistake.

Forget about style; worry about results.

My Dad was my biggest supporter. He never put pressure on me.

The kids wait for it to be organized. They want to go play all of these tournaments, for a little practice time. I learned my skills by dropping the puck just with the kids. I think that's missing today.

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

The fat lady hasn't sung yet. We'll wait until we get a look at what is in the motion passed on third reading.

Growing up, if I hadn't had sports, I don't know where I'd be. God only knows what street corners I'd have been standing on and God only knows what I'd have been doing, but instead I played hockey and went to school and stayed out of trouble.

Growing up in Canada, most kids from Canada dream of playing in the NHL, and they also hope one day to be on a Stanley Cup team. That was a big goal.

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.

I don't spend a lot of time here in New York. I didn't realize there were so many Bruins fans in New York.

I never looked at hockey as work. Now that I'd finished playing, I had to go to work.

I was an offensive defenseman. I was up the ice as much as I was back.

If you talk to most athletes, the place you're most comfortable is your playing field. I'm not so comfortable at a podium or talking about events.

If you're going to help somebody, sneak in, sneak out, do what you can. I just sneak along and do my thing and meet wonderful people, some people I've never met, new friends.

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.

We're professional athletes. People know who we are, and if there's some way we can help with a friend or someone in need, that's a responsibility we have. I really strongly believe that.

You hear peewee coaches teaching the 'trap'. What the heck are we doing teaching the 'trap'? Let the kids go, let them have fun; that's how you improve.

Planning to play: that's what saving for retirement is today - and it is antithetical to the nature of play, fully within the definition of work, and blissfully ignorant of the reality of death.

I'm just growing old, darling. I don't know about gracefully.

We'll always be fascinated by people who live above the law.

I'm writing in English; I'm writing for a Western audience, but the people I'm surrounded by in my daily life are mostly non-white.

Being able to do research in a real-time way is the way research needs to be done in the future.

From an early age I was very, very fascinated by uncertainty.

Marriage, to women as to men, must be a luxury, not a necessity; an incident of life, not all of it.

What other culture could have produced someone like Hemingway and not seen the joke?

Every time I would open my mouth to sing, everybody was paying attention to me. It became a habit.

Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one has better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on one's ideas, to take a calculated risk - and to act.

Too many people looked to me in the eye and did not tell me the truth.

I feel there's an existential angst among young people. I didn't have that. They see enormous mountains, where I only saw one little hill to climb.

I knew the second I met you that there was something about you I needed. Turns out it wasnt something about you at all. It was just you.

I never would've thought in Homeland Security that you would see someone saying that we needed to have hearings on radicalization of Christianity because it's a purported threat to America as much as radicalization of Islam.

If a team wants to intimidate you physically and you let them, they've won.

As an elected official, I live a very public life. That elected figures live under something of a microscope is perhaps a necessary condition for an informed public, and yet, even as a public official, I maintain very personal documents that are not intended for public view.

Over consumption is a cancer eating away at our spiritual vitals. It distances us from the great masses of broken bleeding humanity. It converts us into materialists. We become less able to ask the moral questions.

We are all of us failures, at least, the best of us are.

I couldn't do anything I didn't enjoy.

I haven't been the best boyfriend or husband, and that means I don't get to spend every day with my daughter.
