More quotes by John Wooden
Never try to be better than somebody else. But most importantly, never cease trying to be the best you can be.
John Wooden
Promise yourself to make all your friends know there is something in them that is special and that you value.
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
You are no better than anyone else and no one is better than you.
John Wooden
Every person under your supervision is different. They're all different. They're identical in most ways, but not in all ways. You have to study and analyze every individual under your supervision and try to work with them in a way that will be most productive.
John Wooden
Details create success.
John Wooden

While he is playing, the worst thing a player can think about in terms of concentration - and therefore of success - is losing. The next worst is winning.
John Wooden
Any structure must have a strong foundation. The cornerstones anchor the foundation. For some reason the cornerstones that I chose to begin with I never changed.
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
I'm not afraid to die.
John Wooden
When I am through learning, I am through.
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
Make sure that team members know they are working with you, not for you.
John Wooden
Don't look for the big, quick improvement. Seek the small improvement one day at time. That's the only way it happens-and when it happens, it lasts.
John Wooden
I was built up from my dad more than anyone else.
