More quotes by William Arthur Ward
Believe while others are doubting.
William Arthur Ward
We must be silent before we can listen. We must listen before we can learn. We must learn before we can prepare. We must prepare before we can serve. We must serve before we can lead.
William Arthur Ward
For each new morning with its light, For rest and shelter of the night, For health and food, for love and friends... Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.
William Arthur Ward
Today's patience can transform yesterday's discouragements into tomorrow's discoveries. Today's purposes can turn yesterday's defeats into tomorrow's determination.
William Arthur Ward
Faith is knowing there is an ocean because you have seen a brook.
William Arthur Ward
We are more than what we do... much more than what we accomplish... far more than what we possess.
William Arthur Ward
Before you speak, listen. Before you write, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you invest, investigate. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. Before you retire, save. Before you die, give.
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
The greatest ideas, the most profound thoughts, and the most beautiful poetry are born from the womb of silence
William Arthur Ward
Today is a most unusual day, because we have never lived it before we will never live it again it is the only day we have.
William Arthur Ward
Do more than believe: practice.
William Arthur Ward
Nothing limits achievement like small thinking nothing expands possibilities like unleashed imagination.
William Arthur Ward
Blessed is the person who sees the need, recognizes the responsibility, and actively becomes the answer.
William Arthur Ward
What you believe is more important than what you possess. What you live is more lasting than what you profess. Whom you inspire is more significant than whom you impress.
William Arthur Ward
Will someone else's life be brighter tomorrow, because of what you have done today?
William Arthur Ward
We can choose to throw stones, to stumble on them, to climb over them, or to build with them.
William Arthur Ward
Men never plan to be failures they simply fail to plan to be successful
William Arthur Ward
Raised voices lower esteem. Hot tempers cool friendships. Loose tongues stretch truth. Swelled heads shrink influence. Sharp words dull respect.
William Arthur Ward
Curiosity is the wick in the candle of learning.
William Arthur Ward
Wise are those who learn that the bottom line doesn't always have to be their top priority.
William Arthur Ward
