UCLA basketball coach John Wooden is 99

A few of his quotes:
“Failure is not fatal but failure to change might be.”
“Learn as if you were to live forever; live as if you were to die tomorrow.”
“The main ingredient of stardom is the rest of the team.”
“Young people need models, not critics.”
“Talent is God given; be humble. Fame is man given; be thankful. Conceit is self given; be careful.”
“A coach is someone who can give correction without causing resentment.”
“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.”
