The important things to me are your faith, your family and your friends. If you have that, you have everything.

The time to prepare isn't after you have been given the opportunity. It's long before that opportunity arises. Once the opportunity arrives, it's too late to prepare.

John Wooden
The true leader isn't really looking for leadership. He's trying to set an example and be in the proper way to get the most productive results and don't realize it. When the followers get something done, if the leader has been what he should, they'll feel like they did it, not him. That's the way it should be.
John Wooden
How hard you work at correcting your faults reveals your character.
John Wooden
I'd be satisfied just coaching in high school. I turned down a number of colleges when I was teaching in South Bend, Indiana, before I went into the service. I honestly believe that if I hadn't enlisted in the service, I would never have left high school teaching. I'm sure I would have never left.
John Wooden
Honors are very fleeting, just as fame is cherish friendship more.
John Wooden
When opportunity comes it is too late to prepare.
John Wooden
Seek opportunities to show you care. The smallest gestures often make the biggest difference.
John Wooden
Next to love, balance is the most important thing.
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
