I am not as good as I ought to be. I am not as good as I want to be. I am not as good as I’m going to be. But I am thankful that I am better than I used to 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.

John Wooden

I think that in any group activity – whether it be business, sports or family – there has to be leadership or it won’t be successful.

John Wooden

If I am through learning, I am through.
