John Wooden
Make each day a masterpiece.
John Wooden
Be prepared and be honest.
John Wooden
The time to prepare isn't after you have been given the opportunity. It's long before that opportunity arises. Once the opportunity arrives, it's too late to prepare.
John Wooden
People want to believe you are sincerely interested in them as a person, not just what they can do for you.
John Wooden
If I did only what I wanted to do, I would not be obedient to the Creator. Sometimes He wants us to do certain things that we may not feel like doing. When it comes to what God asks of us, we need more than good intentions we need to follow through fully.
John Wooden
We will begin by learning how to tie our shoes.
John Wooden
The more concerned we become over the things we can't control, the less we will do with the things we can control
John Wooden
Make each day your masterpiece. Life is now. Life is not later on.

John Wooden
Being a role model is the most powerful form of educating
John Wooden
Not everyone is equipped to be a leader, but in a sense, everyone is a leader to someone, even though you're not equipped. I think parents are a leader to youngsters, teacher are leaders, coaches are leaders, businessmen are leaders.
John Wooden
Never complain about the officiating. It does no good. During the game I don't want to be fighting two opponents.
John Wooden
It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.
John Wooden
I'm no wizard, and I don't like being thought of in that light at all. I think of a wizard as being some sort of magician or something, doing something on the sly or something, and I don't want to be thought of in that way.
John Wooden
I am not as good as I ought to be. I am not as good as I want to be. I am not as good as I'm going to be. But I am thankful that I am better than I used to be.
John Wooden
Make no mistake, I always want to win, but I never fight with an opponent. My fight is within me it is the struggle to be the best I can be at whatever I do.
John Wooden
Champions never complain, they are too busy getting better
John Wooden
Winning games, titles and championships isn't all it's cracked up to be, but getting there, the journey, is a lot more than it's cracked up to be.
John Wooden
Working with others makes us much more than we could ever become alone
John Wooden
