John Wooden Quotes to live by


"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are."

"You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one."

"A coach is someone who can give correction without causing resentment."

"If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?"

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

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

"Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability."

Yes, a great yet humble man, who knew how to inspire others. Admired his coaching career, no one did it better.

John George
