Ella Wheeler Wilcox:

The truest greatness lies in being kind, the truest wisdom in a happy mind.

Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.

It's not so important who starts the game but who finishes it.
John Wooden

Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.
-John Wooden

Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be.

-Coach Wooden

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.

-Coach Wooden (my personal favorite quote he's spoken.)

Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve.

-Dr. Napoleon Hill

"To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe."

-Anatole France
