At the end of each year I make a list of my mistakes and it's pretty friggin long.

Dean Lombardi

I've always felt we weren't physical enough on the back line. Now there's a no - parking sign in front of our net.

Dean Lombardi

In order to see the world clearly, you must clean the windows of perception. The only problem is, our society doesn't do windows.

Dean Lombardi

First of all, it's a curse. Voodoo. As soon as a guy gets put on the cover of The Hockey News, it's like Sports Illustrated. He goes right into the tank.

Dean Lombardi

But I beg you to observe that there is a wide difference between being captains or governors of work, and taking the profits of it. It does not follow, because you are general of an army, that you are to take all the treasure, or land, it wins; (if it fight for treasure or land); neither, because you are king of a nation, that you are to consume all the profits of the nation's work.

John Ruskin Art Critic

It was by music that the ancient kings gave elegant expression to their joy. By their armies and axes they gave the same to their anger.

Confucius Philosopher

I have just read your dispatch about sore-tongued and fatigued horses, Will you pardon me for asking what the horses of your army have done since the Battle of Antietam that fatigues anything?

Abraham Lincoln 16th U.S. President

The only really committed artist is he who, without refusing to take part in the combat, at least refuses to join the regular armies and remains a freelance.

Albert Camus Author

The Romans thought of themselves as the chosen people, yet they built the greatest army on Earth by recruiting warriors from any background.

Amy Chua Professor

It is certainly of great importance for a general to keep his plans secret; and Frederick the Great was right when he said that if his night-cap knew what was in his head he would throw it into the fire. That kind of secrecy was practicable in Frederick's time when his whole army was kept closely about him; but when maneuvers of the vastness of Napoleon's are executed, and war is waged as in our day, what concert of action can be expected from generals who are utterly ignorant of what is going on around them?
