I'm a very, very proud Canadian, and having the privilege to represent my country on the international level was the highlight of my 18-year career.
[Airmail was] an impractical sort of fad, and had no place in the serious job of postal transportation.
Contentment does not come from achievement. It comes from a relationship with the Lord.
There is no wrinkle-free life.
I'm pretty transparent and have no problem sharing my weaknesses.
I didn't handle fame very well at first. I got a little resentful.
After I started to understand the spiritual dimension of life, I understood the responsibilities you have as a husband, a father, a friend and a hockey player.
The Lord expects us to enjoy our lives. He says there will be some brutal times, but we shouldn't get all bent out of shape about it.
My wife and I really enjoy a glass of red wine. We're too old to drink cheap wine, and we don't.
My philosophy, don't let cancer ruin your life. You get up every day and use what you have and what time you have left.
Pride is about the ugliest trait somebody can have.
The Bible says not to worry so I don't. I just get up in the morning and ask God for help to get through the day. If tomorrow shows up then I'll take the same shot tomorrow.
I always thought Christians were the weak people. When you can't make it in life then you have to ask God. I really prided myself on being a self-made man.
My philosophy is I take today, live it the best way I can and if I wake up I'll take another shot at tomorrow.
