"Everything I did in hockey, I worked..." - Quote by Wayne Gretzky

“Eight days ago, we were the toast of the town. Eight days later we're Thanksgiving turkeys.”

“Your friends, family, and kids have to understand that's your priority. It's the only way you can be successful.”

“I missed 100% of the shots I didn't take”

“When you’re out there partying, horsing around, someone out there at the same time is working hard. Someone is getting smarter and someone is winning. Just remember that.”

“There is no substitute for hard work.”

“Whatever our dreams, ideas, or projects, we plant a seed, nurture it -- and then reap the fruits of our labors.”

“There are but two roads that lead to an important goal and to the doing of great things: strength and perseverance. Strength is the lot of but a few privileged men; but austere perseverance, harsh and continuous, may be employed by the smallest of us and rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly greater with time.”

“My greatest reward is that I have been able to build this wonderful organization.”

“Some are born with knowledge, some derive it from study, and some acquire it only after a painful realization of their ignorance. But the knowledge being possessed, it comes to the same thing. Some study with a natural ease, some from a desire for advantages, and some by strenuous effort. But the achievement being made, it comes to the same thing.”
