John Wooden

“Make each day your masterpiece.”

“Success is never final, failure is never fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.”

“A coach is someone who can give correction without causing resentment.”

“Be quick, but don't hurry.”

“It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.”

“The main ingredient of stardom is the rest of the team.”

“Never mistake activity for achievement.”

“Winning takes talent; to repeat takes character.”

“Discipline yourself, and others won't need to.”

“It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.”

“Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.”

“Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.”

“Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.”

“If you're not making mistakes, then you're not doing anything. I'm positive that a doer makes mistakes.”

“You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.”

“Don't give up on your dreams, or your dreams will give up on you.”

“The best competition I have is against myself to be better.”

“Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.”

“Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be.”

“Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.”
