Good values are like a magnet – they attract good people.
Promise yourself that you will talk health, happiness, and prosperity as often as possible.
Worry about your character, not your reputation. Your character is who you are, and your reputetion is who people think you re.
We can give without loving, but we can't love without giving. In fact, love is nothing unless we give it to someone.
Never try to be better than someone else. Learn from others, and try to be the best you can be. Success is the by-product of that preparation.
Reverse the ball one time for a good shot, two times for a great shot, three times for a layup.
Being true to ourselves doesn't make us people of integrity. Charles Manson was true to himself, and as a result, he rightly is spending the rest of his life in prison. Ultimately, being true to our Creator gives us the purest form of integrity.
Seek opportunities to show you care. The smallest gestures often make the biggest difference.
Never mistake activity for achievement.
A mistake is valuable if you do four things with it: recognize it, admit it, learn from it, forget it
Well, if you're true to yourself you're going to be true to everyone else.
Promise yourself to make all your friends know there is something in them that is special and that you value.
Never did I want to call the first time-out during a game. Never. I wanted UCLA to come out and run our opponents so hard that they would be forced to call the first time-out just to catch their breath. At that first time-out the opponents would know, and we would know that they knew, who was in better condition. This has a psychological impact.
Be true to yourself, help others, make each day your masterpiece, make friendship a fine art, drink deeply from good books - especially the Bible, build a shelter against a rainy day, give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance every day.
