John Wooden Quotes

» There are many things that are essential to arriving at true peace of mind, and one of the most important is faith, which cannot be acquired without prayer.

» It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.

» You cannot attain and maintain physical condition unless you are morally and mentally conditioned. And it is impossible to be in moral condition unless you are spiritually conditioned.

» If you're not making mistakes, then you're not doing anything. I'm positive that a doer makes mistakes.

» Material possessions, winning scores, and great reputations are meaningless in the eyes of the Lord, because He knows what we really are and that is all that matters.

» Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.

» Success is peace of mind, a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming, and not just in a physical way: seek ye first the kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be yours as well.

» Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

» I always tried to make clear that basketball is not the ultimate. It is of small importance in comparison to the total life we live. There is only one kind of life that truly wins, and that is the one that places faith in the hands of the Savior. Until that is done, we are on an aimless course that runs in circles and goes nowhere.
