Don't mistake activity with achievement.
Today is the only day. Yesterday is gone.
If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have the time to do it over?
It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.
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.
Being a role model is the most powerful form of educating...too often fathers neglect it because they get so caught up in making a living they forget to make a life.
From Wooden: A Lifetime of Observations and Reflections On and Off the Court
Remember, results aren't the criteria for success — it's the effort made for achievement that is most important.
