John Wooden ...
"Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful."
"Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do." "Failure to prepare is preparing to fail."
"You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you."
"The worst thing about new books is that they keep us from reading the old ones."
"Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are."
"I always tried to make clear that basketball is not the ultimate. It is of small importance in comparison to the total life we live. There is only one kind of life that truly wins, and that is the one that places faith in the hands of the Savior. Until that is done, we are on an aimless course that runs in circles and goes nowhere."
