The two hardest things to handle in life are failure and success.

It's too late for preparation when opportunity strikes.

The ability to see the good in others and the bad in ourselves is perfect vision.

If you let social activities take precedence over your academic activities, then you will soon lose your basketball activities.

I think the teaching profession contributes more to the future of our society than any other single profession.

One of my constant reminders was, "End practice on a happy note." I wanted the boys to want to come out to practice, and I wanted them to get a certain amount of pleasure out of basketball. It's a game. It should be fun. So I always tried to counterbalance any criticism in practice with a bit of praise. I wanted my players to feel that the worst punishment I could give them was to deny them the privilege of practicing. If they did not want to practice, I did not want them there.

Hardship brings people closer together if you share it.
