if to greatness you’d aspire
there’s much to do ere you retire.
bend your knees in faithful prayer
Set your goals both far and rare.
Listen for your call and not your praise.
be strongest in your hardest days.
be humblest whene’er you’ve won
and courage will be yours, my son.
But if your heart submits to fear,
don’t forget the cream and clear.

I’ve heard that one should never say anything unless it is:
true
kind
necessary
I override these, however, if it’s funny.

With principles like that, no wonder the “square” Wooden could be lionized by (considered for the time) politically radical players at UCLA like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Bill Walton.
