Basketball coach John Wooden , winner of 10 championships, on giving:

“There is a wonderful, almost mystical, law of nature that says three of the things we want most—happiness, freedom, and peace of mind—are always attained when we give them to others. Give it away to get it back.”

“People generally have more control over their actions than their feelings.

Unheroic days can make for heroic decades.”
