Coach John Wooden Quotes:

  • Wooden, John "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."

  • Wooden, John "It's what you learn after you know it all that counts."

  • Wooden, John "Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best at which you are capable."

  • Wooden, John "Be quick, but don’t hurry."

  • Wooden, John “Talent is God-given – be humble. Fame is man-given – be thankful. Conceit is self-given – be careful.”

  • Wooden, John "Never mistake activity for achievement."

  • Wooden, John "Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do."
