偉大的籃球教練John Wooden的一生是傳奇的一生，是偉大的一生；所有的籃球工作者、籃球愛好者都要向伍登同志學習，去做一個高尚的人、純粹的人、脫離了低級趣味的人。在此我們選取了部分Wooden說過的話，以饗讀者。
Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.天助自助者。
Never mistake activity for achievement.蜜蜂與蝴蝶雖然都在花間飛舞，但一個在創造，一個在虛度。（永遠別把活躍和成就混為一談。別看現在叫得歡，小心將來拉清單）
Adversity is the state in which man mostly easily becomes acquainted with himself, being especially free of admirers then.逆境讓我們不再為受人崇拜所累，讓我們更容易認識自己。（在逆境中尋找希望，人生終將輝煌。）
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.請重視你的品格更勝於你的名聲，因為品格是真實的你，而名聲僅是他人如何看你。
Be prepared and be honest.機遇只偏愛有準備的頭腦和誠實的心靈。
You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one.勿以褒喜，勿以貶悲。二者任一都將成為你的弱點。
You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.能幫助一個無法回報你的人，才算是度過了完美的一天。
What you are as a person is far more important that what you are as a basketball player.你是一個怎樣的人，要比你是一個怎樣的籃球手重要得多。（籃球之道，在明明德，在親民，在止於至善。）
Winning takes talent, to repeat takes character.一次成功倚仗天分，一生成功倚仗德行。（奪冠依靠球星，衛冕全靠人品！）
A coach is someone who can give correction without causing resentment.教練就是能糾正錯誤，卻不會讓你記恨的人。
I'd rather have a lot of talent and a little experience than a lot of experience and a little talent.我寧可要99%的天分加上1%的經驗，也不要99%的經驗加上1%的天分。
If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?你若沒有時間把事情做對，會有時間從頭再來一次麼？
If you're not making mistakes, then you're not doing anything. I'm positive that a doer makes mistakes.不犯錯的人什麼都沒在做。在做事的人總是會犯錯的。（聽蝲蝲蛄叫還不種莊稼了？！）
It isn't what you do, but how you do it.做什麼並不重要，重要是做的方法。
Ability is a poor man's wealth.才幹是窮人的財富。
Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be.失敗並不可怕，但墨守成規可能是致命的。
Consider the rights of others before your own feelings, and the feelings of others before your own rights.關注自己的感受之前，想想別人的權利；關注自己的權利之前，想想別人的感受。
Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.不必為做不到的事多加煩惱。（挾泰山以超北海，非不為也，實不能也。為長者折枝，非不能也，實不為也。）
Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability.莫以成就論英雄，盡你所能便成功。（人應該達到才幹所決定的高度，除此之外一切成就都不足自傲。）
It's not so important who starts the game but who finishes it.靡不有初，鮮克有終。（直譯當然是：一場比賽由誰開球，遠沒有由誰蓋棺來得重要。）
It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.在你已經懂得一切之後，又學到的東西才是最有價值的。（學無止境，學海無涯。）
It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.細節決定成敗，細節決定全局。（不積跬步，無以至千里；不積小流，無以成江海。一屋不掃，何以掃天下？）
Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.上帝賜你天賦，保持謙遜；眾人給你名聲，心懷感激；自己易生驕傲，惟此謹慎。
The main ingredient of stardom is the rest of the team.時勢造英雄，角色球員造球星。（你以為你是個明星？還不是全靠周圍這些死跑龍套的！）
Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.全力以赴做到最好，成功指日可待。（把握生命裏的每一分鐘，全力以赴我們心中的夢；不經歷風雨，怎麼見彩虹，沒有人能隨隨便便成功。）
Success is never final, failure is never fatal. It's courage that counts.成功並非終點，失敗並非終結；勇氣才是關鍵所在。
