I'm so proud of how well Canada did at the Games here. It think we're going to do even better in 2010.

Coming into the Games I knew I was in five events but I didn't expect to get a medal in every distance, especially the 5,000.

The Canadians have really stepped it up these Olympics. It looks very promising for Vancouver.

We're all doing it for the love of the sport. We want to make Canada proud. I'm so fortunate to skate in a country like Canada.

The one who finds contentment is truly rich.

Next time a sunrise steals your breath or a meadow of flowers leave you speechless remain that way. Say nothing and listen as heaven whispers "Do you like it? I did it just for you."

A psychiatrist asks a lot of expensive questions your wife asks for nothing.

I think being an atheist is something you are, not something you do.

Most people want to grow, but the price of growth is pain.

Social solidarities are torn apart, furthering the retreat into orbits of the private that undermine those spaces that nurture non-commodified knowledge, values, critical exchange and civic literacy.

When we have peace in our hearts and minds, we draw peace into our lives.

Man's pleasure is a short time growing And it falls to the ground As quickly.

I really believe in a oneness. So if I'm looking at somebody else, it's not in a narcissistic way, but you're kind of seeing yourself.
