Quote by John Wooden

I always tried to make clear that basketball is not the ultimate. It is of small importance in comparison to the total life we live.

Summary

This quote, attributed to basketball player and coach Phil Jackson, highlights the significance of prioritizing faith and spirituality over worldly achievements like basketball. Jackson emphasizes that while basketball may seem important, it pales in comparison to the larger scope of our lives. He suggests that true fulfillment and success can only be achieved by placing our faith in a higher power. Without this faith, our lives become meaningless and aimless, lacking clear purpose or direction. Jackson invites us to reflect on the value of faith and its significance in guiding our paths towards a meaningful life.

If you do not regard feminism with an uplifting sense of the gloriousness of woman's industrial destiny, or in the way, in short, that it is prescribed, by the rules of the political publicist, that you should, that will be interpreted by your opponents as an attack on woman.
