More quotes by John Wooden
Work without joy is drudgery. Drudgery does not produce champions, nor does it produce great organizations.
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
Winning and losing aren't all they're cracked up to be, but the trip to the destination is.
John Wooden
Opponents are working very hard to defeat us. Let's not do it for them by defeating ourselves from within.
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
In life, worthwhile accomplishments and acquisitions take time. Usually the better the reward, the more time it takes to acquire it.
John Wooden
The true leader isn't really looking for leadership. He's trying to set an example and be in the proper way to get the most productive results and don't realize it. When the followers get something done, if the leader has been what he should, they'll feel like they did it, not him. That's the way it should be.
John Wooden
I like to spend time in the past, with the things that have been important to me.
John Wooden
Never try to be better than someone else. Learn from others, and try to be the best you can be. Success is the by-product of that preparation.
John Wooden

John Wooden
You haven't taught until they've learned.

Reputation is what others perceive you as being, and their opinion may be right or wrong. Character, however, is what you really are, and nobody truly knows that but you. But you are what matters most.
John Wooden
You are no better than anyone else and no one is better than you.
John Wooden
Team spirit means you are willing to sacrifice personal considerations for the welfare of all. That defines a team player.
John Wooden
You have success within. It's up to you to bring it out.
John Wooden
The best players don't win championships. The best team players win championships.
John Wooden
Great leaders are always out front with a banner, instead of behind with a whip.
John Wooden
Class is an intangible quality which commands, rather than demands, the respect of others.
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
