I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me..Phil 3:14

A lot of the players are not involved with any NHL team, so to play and travel around with the Oldtimers' it's a kind of gift that the players really appreciate.

Guy Lafleur

A classic is a book that doesn't have to be written again.

Carl Van Doren

It is a defect of God's humor that he directs our hearts everywhere but to those who have a right to them.

Tom Stoppard

The idea that nations should love one another, or that business concerns or marketing boards should love one another, or that a man in Portugal should love a man in Peru of whom he has never heard --it is absurd, unreal, dangerous. The fact is we can only love what we know personally. And we cannot know much.

E. M. Forster

Trevor Treharne

Lost time is never found again.

Benjamin Franklin

It is not for nothing that you are named Ransom, said the Voice...The whole distinction between things accidental and things designed, like the distinction between fact and myth, was purely terrestrial. The pattern is so large that within the little frame of earthly experience there appear pieces of it between which we can see no connection, and other pieces between which we can. Hence we rightly, for our sue, distinguish the accidental from the essential. But step outside that frame and the distinction drops down into the void, fluttering useless wings. He had been forced out of the frame, caught up into the larger pattern My name also is Ransom, said the Voice.

C.S. Lewis

There are no absolute rules of conduct, either in peace or war. Everything depends on circumstances.
