More quotes by 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
Too often, we just ask for help instead of really giving thanks for the many things that we've had and are so helpful to us that we did nothing to deserve, so we should give thanks each and every day and pray for guidance in helping us along the proper path.
John Wooden
Most people think of poise as calm, self-assured dignity but I call it “just being you”.
John Wooden
Be observing constantly. Stay open-minded. Be eager to learn and improve.
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
A good banker isn't careless with pennies a good leader isn't sloppy about details.
John Wooden
Success travels in the company of very hard work. There is no trick, no easy way.
John Wooden
Helping others is perhaps the greatest joy! You cannot have a perfect day without helping others with no thought of getting something in return.
John Wooden
We’re all imperfect and we all have needs. The weak usually do not ask for help, so they stay weak. If we recognize that we are imperfect, we will ask for help and we will pray for the guidance necessary to bring positive results to whatever we are doing.
John Wooden
Whatever you do in life, surround yourself with smart people who'll argue with you.
John Wooden
I also wanted my basketball players to know that I really cared about them. Forget basketball as a person, I cared, I cared about their family.
John Wooden
Good judgment, common sense, and reason all fly out the window when emotions kick down your door.
John Wooden
Be prepared and be honest.
John Wooden
Your energy and enjoyment, drive and dedication will stimulate and greatly inspire others.
John Wooden
Mistakes come from doing, but so does success.
John Wooden
I like to spend time in the past, with the things that have been important to me.
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
It's not how big you are, it's how big you play.
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
We are all equal in that we can all strive to become the best we are capable of becoming. We can always improve but we shouldn't compare ourselves to others. We get in trouble when we start trying to measure up to someone else.
John Wooden
