Famous quotes by John Wooden:

"Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there."

"If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?"

"Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but what you should have accomplished with your ability."

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

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

"Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming."

"Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do."

"You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one."

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

"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."

"No one can really honestly be the very best, no one."

"I don't believe in praying to win."

"There's as much crookedness as you want to find. There was something Abraham Lincoln said - he'd rather trust and be disappointed than distrust and be miserable all the time. Maybe I trusted too much."

"Earn the right to be proud and confident."

"The worst thing about new books is that they keep us from reading the old ones."

"Young people need models, not critics."

"I'm not going to say I was opposed to the Vietnam War. I'm going to say I'm opposed to war. But I'm also opposed to protests that deny other people their rights."

"I talked to the players and tried to make them aware of what was good and bad, but I didn't try to run their lives."

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

"Be true to yourself, help others, make each day your masterpiece, make friendship a fine art, drink deeply from good books - especially the Bible, build a shelter against a rainy day, give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance every day."
