More quotes by John Wooden
I found golf was too time consuming, but I did enjoy it.
John Wooden
Earlier in life, I put family in front of faith. I've fixed that. But I always tried to keep work fourth on the list. I was proud when [my wife] Nellie told an interviewer, 'I never could tell whether John had a good practice or a bad practice, because he never brought it home'
John Wooden
Don't beat yourself. That's the worst kind of defeat you'll ever suffer.
John Wooden
Remember this your lifetime through: Tomorrow there will be more to do. And failure waits for all who stay With some success made yesterday. Tomorrow you must try once more, And even harder than before.
John Wooden

Five years from now, you’re the same person except for the people you’ve met and the books you’ve read.
John Wooden
Being true to ourselves doesn't make us people of integrity. Charles Manson was true to himself, and as a result, he rightly is spending the rest of his life in prison. Ultimately, being true to our Creator gives us the purest form of integrity.
John Wooden
It is most difficult, in my mind, to separate any success, whether it be in your profession, your family, or as in my case, in basketball, from religion.
John Wooden
A leader’s most powerful ally is his or her own example.
John Wooden
Our titles would not have been possible without the unselfishness displayed by all our teams, the team wins, not the individuals
