A Quote by John Wooden

Respect every opponent, but fear none. — © John Wooden
Respect every opponent, but fear none.
I'm not going to bag on people and make funny jokes about my opponent. I just respect every opponent I go in against.
Fear comes from uncertainty; we can eliminate the fear within us when we know ourselves better. As the great Sun Tzu said: “When you know yourself and your opponent, you will win every time. When you know yourself but not your opponent, you will win one and lose one. However, when you do not know yourself or your opponent, you will be imperiled every time.
I respect every opponent no matter their record, no matter their title belts. I approach each opponent the same way.
Respect all. Fear none.
The nicer the point, the more -- the better I feel, the more excited I get. But I never play that my opponent looks stupid. I think that is wrong. I have too much respect for every opponent I play.
I will take every match seriously and respect every opponent.
Respect all fear none my pride is everything
I'm a football player and I have respect for every opponent, every defender and every team, but I'm not afraid of anyone and I'm not afraid to take them on and to make things happen.
A Christian is free and independent in every respect, a bond servant to none. A Christian is a dutiful servant in every respect, owing a duty to everyone.
Fear is the strongest driving-force in competition. Not fear of one's opponent, but of the skill and high standard which he represents; fear, too, of not acquitting oneself well. In the achievement of greater performances, of beating formidable rivals, the athlete defeats fear and conquers himself.
Knowing your opponent is a crucial part of emulating and defeating that opponent. But scouting is only the first step. Too many leaders spend countless hours studying an opponent's every move in the search for an edge. The Great Teams understand not only how to scout but also how to exploit the weaknesses of a competitor. These teams analyze every perspective and option and position themselves to take full advantage of any knowledge gained about an opponent.
I have a healthy respect. The fact that I get ready for each opponent shows my respect.
Respect your opponent, just make them respect you more.
I think any player would say that they want their coaches' respect, they want their teammates' respect, and they want their opponent to respect them.
You can't play with fear in football. There is a lot of respect - you have respect for everybody, the ones on top and the bottom - but never fear.
To your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, heart. To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To you, respect.
