"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hockey legend Gordie Howe died Friday at the age of 88. SI.com's complete coverage of his life, career and tributes can be found here.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Known as Mr. Hockey, Howe played the sport professionally in five different decades, beginning his career in 1946 and lasting until 1980. He won four Stanley Cups with the Detroit Red Wings and six Hart Trophies for being the league MVP, and was the greatest scorer in NHL history until he was surpassed by Wayne Gretzky, who was hardly a slouch.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When you play a sport that long and have that much success, you rack up a few quality sound bites along the way.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GALLERY: The Wit and Wisdom of Hockey&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here are some of Howe's best:\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;On His Success&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CYou find that you have peace of mind and can enjoy yourself, get more sleep, and rest when you know that it was a 100% effort that you gave\u2014win or lose.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;\u2022&amp;nbsp;Twitter reacts to death of Gordie Howe&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u200B\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CYou've got to love what you're doing.

At first all I ever wanted to do was stick around for a while, but as time went by I decided I'd play 20 years if it killed me.\u201D&amp;nbsp;&lt;em &gt;\u2013 Sports Illustrated, Dec. 9, 1968&lt;/em&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;GALLERY: SI's Rare Photos of Gordie Howe\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;On Language&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CAll pro athletes are bilingual.
