Climb the mountain so you can see the world, not so the world can see you. Focus all your effort on what is in your power to control.

Big things are accomplished when we master the little things.

In 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.

The better conditioned team will probably win in the long run.

Adversity often produces an unexpected opportunity. Look for it ! Appreciate and utilize it! This is difficult to do if you're feeling sorry for yourself because you're faced with adversity.

You can’t do anything about yesterday, and the only way to improve tomorrow is by what you do right now.

Today is the only day. Yesterday is gone.
