More quotes by John Wooden

John Wooden
Discipline yourself - so others don't have to.
John Wooden
Make each day a masterpiece.

As long as you try your best, you are never a failure. That is, unless you blame others.

John Wooden
Leaders must have patience for those under your supervision. Don't expect too much too soon. Maybe it was easy for you, but that doesn't mean it's going to be easy for somebody else. Be sure you have patience.
John Wooden
There are little details in everything you do, and if you get away from any one of the little details, you're not teaching the thing as a whole. For it is little things which, together, make the whole. This, I think, is extremely important.
John Wooden

John Wooden
Be quick, but don't hurry.

John Wooden
Don't think that you can make up for it by working twice as hard tomorrow. If you have it within your power to work twice as hard, why aren't you doing it now?
John Wooden
Be observing constantly. Stay open-minded. Be eager to learn and improve.
John Wooden
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.
John Wooden
There are many things that are essential to arriving at true peace of mind, and one of the most important is faith, which cannot be acquired without prayer.
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
We can have no progress without change, whether it be basketball or anything else.
John Wooden
I like to spend time in the past, with the things that have been important to me.
John Wooden
Motivating through fear may work in the short term to get people to do something, but over the long run I believe personal pride is a much greater motivator. It produces far better results that last for a much longer time.
John Wooden
