More quotes by William Arthur Ward

Our greatest challenge-our greatest opportunity-is found in these words: 'Choose ye this day....'.
William Arthur Ward
In life, satisfaction is experienced when activities are brought to a state of completion. Loss of energy and loss of control are functions of incompletion. The result of completing things releases one's ability to create. Prioritize any items that need to be completed, set a completion date, then do it.
William Arthur Ward
Skillful listening is the best remedy for loneliness, loquaciousness, and laryngitis.
