John Wooden

"Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there. "

"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. "

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

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

"Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming. "

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

"Things turn out best for people who make the best of the way things turn out. "

"You cannot live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you. "
