Famous John Wooden Quotes

“You can always look back and see where you might have done something differently, changed this or that. If you can learn something, fine, but never second-guess yourself. It's wasted effort.... Does worrying about it, complaining about it, change it? Nope, it just wastes your time. And if you complain about it to other people, you're also wasting their time. Nothing is gained by wasting all of that time.”

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

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

“You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.”

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

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

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