If you do enough small things right, big things can happen

When people ask me now if I miss coaching UCLA basketball games, the national championships, the attention, the trophies, and everything that goes with them, I tell them this: I miss the practices.

The best players don't win championships. The best team players win championships.

Never try to be better than someone else. Learn from others.

I'm no wizard, and I don't like being thought of in that light at all. I think of a wizard as being some sort of magician or something, doing something on the sly or something, and I don't want to be thought of in that way.

Leaders must have patience for those under your supervision. Don't expect too much too soon. Maybe it was easy for you, but that doesn't mean it's going to be easy for somebody else. Be sure you have patience.

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.
