Motivational Sports Quotations by John Wooden - Moving You to Victory

John Wooden

Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.

Always think of passing the ball before shooting it.

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.

Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should accomplish with your ability.

Failure is not fatal; failing to change will be.

I don't believe in looking back. If you make a decision that you think is the proper one at a time, then that's the correct decision.

It is not so important who starts the game but who finishes it.

It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.

Never mistake activity for achievement.

Nothing will work unless you do.

Sports do not build character. They reveal it.

Success is peace of mind that is the direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.

The most important key to achieving great success is to decide upon your goal and launch, get started, take action, move.

Things turn out best for people who make the best of the way things turn out.
