Wooden: A Lifetime of Observations and Reflections On and Off the Court

The Greatest Joy

Happiness is in many things. It’s in love. It’s in sharing. But most of all, it’s in being at peace with yourself knowing that you are making the effort, the full effort, to do what is right.

True happiness comes from the things that cannot be taken away from you. Making the full effort to do the right thing can never be taken away from you.

I believe the greatest joy one can have is doing something for someone else without any thought of getting something in return.
