Wayne Gretzky
I miss all the shots I don't take.

Look at guys like Larry Bird and George Brett and John McEnroe that's what they did in their careers. They all wanted to be the guy under the microscope late in the game or late in the match. So you just take on that know-how that that's part of your responsibility, and you learn that's what makes it exciting. That's what makes it fun!
Wayne Gretzky

Wayne Gretzky
The Power of WHO provides great lessons about how to succeed in business and in life. If you surround yourself with quality people and great friends, the sky's the limit.
Wayne Gretzky
I have absolutely no complaints about my life. But people think I got handed everything, all this kind of fell in my lap, that I was just God-gifted with all this talent. I wanted people to realize it's a lot tougher than just waking up one day and you're in the NHL.
Wayne Gretzky
It's just amazing how many companies suddenly want you to hold up their products after you've held up the Stanley Cup.
Wayne Gretzky
Most players go where the puck is. I go where the puck will be.
Wayne Gretzky
Growing up, I was always the small guy.
Wayne Gretzky
When I played in a 21-team league, there were six or seven goalies who were just average, and the equipment and pads were smaller. I came in the right era. I played for the right team. It was all speed, and creativity and imagination.
