John Wooden quotes

Talent is God-given; be humble. Fame is man-given; be thankful. Conceit is self-given; be careful.

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

Young people need models, not critics.

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

Failure is not fatal but failure to change might be.

Success is peace of mind attained only through self-satisfaction and knowing you've made the effort, do the best of what you're capable.

Make each day your masterpiece.

A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player.

Don't beat yourself. That's the worst kind of defeat you'll ever suffer.

You should never try to be better than someone else, you should always be learning from others. But you should never cease trying to be the best you could be because that's under your control and the other isn't.
