Paul Henderson

My philosophy, don't let cancer ruin your life. You get up every day and use what you have and what time you have left.

My philosophy is I take today, live it the best way I can and if I wake up I'll take another shot at tomorrow.

I'm a very, very proud Canadian, and having the privilege to represent my country on the international level was the highlight of my 18-year career.

I'm not nearly as important as I used to think I was. It's a wonderful discovery.

Pride is about the ugliest trait somebody can have.

I'm so proud to be Canadian. I've been to 58 countries, and they're wonderful countries, but Canada is the best.

I always thought Christians were the weak people. When you can't make it in life then you have to ask God. I really prided myself on being a self-made man.

Cancer is cancer. I've got a great life if I can just stay alive.

There is no wrinkle-free life.

The Lord expects us to enjoy our lives. He says there will be some brutal times, but we shouldn't get all bent out of shape about it.

After I started to understand the spiritual dimension of life, I understood the responsibilities you have as a husband, a father, a friend and a hockey player.

I didn't handle fame very well at first. I got a little resentful.
