William Arthur Ward
Enthusiasm is the match that lights the candle of achievement.
William Arthur Ward

William Arthur Ward
We are most like beasts when we kill. We are most like men when we judge. We are most like God when we forgive.
William Arthur Ward
Wise are they who have learned these truths: Trouble is temporary. Time is tonic. Tribulation is a test tube.
William Arthur Ward
Blessed is he who has learned to admire but not envy, to follow but not imitate, to praise but not flatter, and to lead but not manipulate.
William Arthur Ward
