We can give without loving, but we can't love without giving. In fact, love is nothing unless we give it to someone.
John WoodenLoyalty is very important when things get a little tough, as they often do when the challenge is great. Loyalty is a powerful force in producing one's individual best and more so in producing a team's best.
John WoodenIf there's anything you could point out where I was a little different, it was the fact that I never mentioned winning.
John WoodenIn 1948, I began coaching basketball at UCLA. Each hour of practice we worked very hard. Each day we worked very hard. Each week we worked very hard. Each season we worked very hard. Four fourteen years we worked very hard and didn't win a national championship. However, a national championship was won in the fifteenth year. Another in the sixteenth. And eight more in the following ten years.
