John Wooden Quotes

Whatever you do in life, surround yourself with smart people who’ll argue with you.

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

Never mistake activity for achievement.

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.

It’s the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.
