Starting that union was something I believed in very strongly.

With me serving as the president, we filed a $3-million lawsuit against the league and its member clubs in an attempt to win increased pension benefits and a larger share Of television revenue.

They thought we were going to hurt the game, but we just wanted to help ourselves, because the players needed to get together to protect their interests.

The owners and managers were too stupid to realize we had brains.

A series of rumors about my attitude, as well as derogatory remarks about myself and my family showed me that the personal resentment of the Detroit general manager toward me would make it impossible for me to continue playing hockey in Detroit.

Some nights, I was so good that I could have become an egotist.

When it was my turn, I just skated out and heard this huge cheer. It was very touching considering the bad circumstances under which I had left the team and that I had been away for four years.

I love people and I love to be around people.

I had the idea that I should beat up every player I tangled with and nothing ever convinced me it wasn't a good idea.

But a funny thing happened four years later. I was invited to play for an alumni team against the Red Wings.

Starting that union was something I believed in very strongly.

I liked playing in Chicago, and I gave them everything I had, but I knew in my heart I was a Red Wing.

I had that flying wheel tattooed on my forehead and on my butt.

After three years in Chicago, I decided to call it a career.

By 1946, I knew Detroit was the best hockey city in the Original Six.

I watch a lot of hockey. There are some good hockey players and there are some awfully stupid hockey players.

My penalty for rocking the boat was being traded.

What you had at the time was a dictatorship with the team owners.

At 39, I was back in a Red Wings uniform and loving it.

Through the years, I have so many wonderful memories of playing with the Red Wings: winning four Stanley Cups, scoring big goals, going into battle every night side by side with my teammates, playing with every ounce of effort I could muster.

Hockeys a funny game. You have to prove yourself every shift every game. Its not up to anybody else. You have to take pride in yourself.

Yoga is like music. The rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind, and the harmony of the soul create the symphony of life.

Shady's great; I love Shady Records.

The only time to eat diet food is while youre waiting for the steak to cook.

Hip-hop is a cultural expression - it's embracing.

Part of an icon's power comes from its indivisibility. The swoosh cannot be further deconstructed into its component parts. Just as golden arches mean McDonald's, and the little red tab means Levi's, the swoosh is Nike. The product is its icon, inseparably and without exception. To buy a pair of Nike shoes is to buy the Nike swoosh.

Even faith in God is only a stage on the way. Ultimately you abandon all for you come to something so simple that there are no words to express it.

I think I want to pursue a movie career and maybe even pursue some theatre.

When life sucks, read. They can't yell at you for that. And if they do, then you can ignore them.

A fast is not a hunger strike. Fasting submits to Gods commands. A hunger strike makes God submit to our demands.

In general, I write for ages 12 and up - although I've received emails from readers between the ages of seven and seventy. My books are science fiction.

It appears that PepsiCo views structural change as a sign of weakness, an admission of failure, and an untenable break with past traditions.

I locate a great deal of the power of Occupy Wall Street in the name itself, 'Occupy Wall Street,' or '#OccupyWallStreet.' It works because the name contains everything you need to know: the tactic and the target. The name is also modular. You can create your own offshoot in your own city.

You can make your superhero a psychopath you can draw gut splattering violence and you can call it a graphic novel but comic books are still incredibly stupid.

Life as a voice actress is tough. It's not an easy career.

I'm letting no man handle my bank account.

People are clamoring to hear good ideas as opposed to the lesser of two evils... Either the Democrats are going to win or the Republicans are going to win, but the losers are all of us out here as citizens that really do want meaningful change, and none of it's happening. There's no dialogue regarding meaningful change.

Well, I think my stand-up is often kind of visual. Not like Carrot Top visual, but visual.

What is good about Good Friday Why isnt it called Bad Friday Because out of the appallingly bad came what was inexpressibly good. And the good trumps the bad because though the bad was temporary the good is eternal.

Nature's patterns sometimes reflect two intertwined features: fundamental physical laws and environmental influences. It's nature's version of nature versus nurture.

And I think Governor Romney has a shot if the 'R' next to his name doesn't just stand for 'Republican,' it stands for 'reformer.'

I didn't particularly want to go to Westminster - not that there were many seats available or chances for women to get elected. In 1987, Labour sent down 50 MPs, and only one of them was a woman.

I don't want you to misunderstand me. You might get up and state what you believe to be Seventh-day Adventism, and I might not agree with everything you said.

Tim Tebow is one of my biggest inspirations. I actually want to be able to do some of the things that he does in terms of the amount of charity work and the non-profit work, and the way he impacts people off the field. I think that is what is most inspiring to me about him.
