John Wooden

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.

You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.

If I am through learning, I am through.

I like to catch fish and release them. I probably haven't killed a fish that I've caught in sport fishing for 20 years. No reason to kill it. You know, just take it and release it.

Be kind and considerate with your criticism... It's just as hard to write a bad book as it is to write a good book.

Neither blame or praise yourself.
