Doing the best you are capable of doing is victory in itself, and less than that is defeat.
John WoodenThe goal in life is the same as in basketball: make the effort to do the best you are capable of doing--in marriage, at your job, in the community, for your country. Make the effort to contribute in whatever way you can. You may do it materially or with time, ideas, or work. Making the effort to contribute is what counts. The effort is what counts in everything.
John WoodenYou cannot antagonize and be a positive influence, and you will antagonize when you discipline through emotion.
John WoodenI'm not going to say I was opposed to the Vietnam War. I'm going to say I'm opposed to war. But I'm also opposed to protests that deny other people their rights.
