John Wooden
The main ingredient of stardom is the rest of the team.
John Wooden

John Wooden
Make each day your masterpiece. Life is now. Life is not later on.
John Wooden
Don't permit fear of failure to prevent effort. We are all imperfect and will fail on occasions, but fear of failure is the greatest failure of all.
John Wooden
There is no great fun, satisfaction, or joy derived from doing something that's easy.
John Wooden
If you stay intent and your ability warrants it, you will eventually reach the top of the mountain.
John Wooden
We can have no progress without change, whether it be basketball or anything else.
John Wooden
Don't give up on your dreams, or your dreams will give up on you.
John Wooden
