John Wooden

“The most important thing in the world is family and love.”

“Friendship is two-sided. It isn't a friend just because someone's doing something nice for you. That's a nice person. There's friendship when you do for each other. It's like marriage - it's two-sided.”

“My eyesight is not nearly as good. My hearing is probably going away. My memory is slipping too. But I'm still around.”

“Defense is a definite part of the game, and a great part of defense is learning to play it without fouling.”

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

“If I am through learning, I am through.”

“Love is the most important thing in the world. Hate, we should remove from the dictionary.”

“I'm glad I was a teacher.”

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

“I found golf was too time consuming, but I did enjoy it.”

“I like to spend time in the past, with the things that have been important to me.”

“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.”
