No matter what one does, regardless of failure or success, the experience is a form of success in itself.

If you aren’t making mistakes, you aren’t taking enough risks.

You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don’t try.

You make mistakes. Mistakes don’t make you.

You always pass failure on the way to success.

Success is usually the culmination of controlling failure.

I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.

Don’t worry about failures, worry about the chances you miss when you don’t even try.

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

It isn't what you do, but how you do it.

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

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

You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one.

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

“If I were a young coach today, I would be extremely careful in selecting assistants.”

“All of life is peaks and valleys. Don’t let the peaks get too high and the valleys too low.”

“What you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player.”

“The worst thing about new books is that they keep us from reading the old ones.”

“You can do more good by being good than any other way.”

“It isn’t what you do, but how you do it.”

“If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?”
