William Arthur Ward

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
Forgiveness from others is charity from God, grace from oneself, wisdom.
William Arthur Ward
Optimism is a seed sown in the soil of faith pessimism is a seed hoarded in the vault of doubt.
