John Wooden
  • I think the teaching profession contributes more to the future of our society than any other single profession.

  • Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.

  • Be true to yourself, help others, make each day your masterpiece, make friendship a fine art, drink deeply from good books - especially the Bible, build a shelter against a rainy day, give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance every day.

  • You can do more good by being good than any other way.

  • I talked to the players and tried to make them aware of what was good and bad, but I didn't try to run their lives.
