John Wooden (1910 - ) Hall of Fame basketball coach for UCLA won a record 10 NCAA championships "You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try." Beverly Sills (1929 - ) American opera singer "Action is character." F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) American novelist This really cuts to the left in today's society: "Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds." Albert Einstein (1879-1955) German physicist, Nobel Prize winner "A stumbling block to the pessimist is a stepping stone to the optimist." Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) U.N. diplomat, humanitarian, U.S. First Lady "There's no substitute for hard work. If you work hard and prepare yourself, you might get beat, but you'll never lose." Nancy Lieberman-Cline (1958 - ) American basketball player, Olympic silver medalist "I swing big, with everything I've got. I hit big or I miss big." Babe Ruth (1895-1948) American baseball player "Leadership is demonstrated at the moment of need. You learn to be a leader by acting, by doing." Carlos Ghosn (1954 - ) President and CEO, Nissan Motor Co. "He who can, does." George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) Irish playwright and critic "Much effort, much prosperity." Euripides (480BC - 406BC) Greek playwright Now you have to decide if you will learn anything from this.
