More quotes by William Arthur Ward
The momentary thrill of getting rarely equals the lasting joy of giving.
William Arthur Ward
To bear defeat with dignity, to accept criticism with poise, to receive honors with humility - these are marks of maturity and graciousness.
William Arthur Ward
Failure is not fatal. Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. It should challenge us to new heights of accomplishments, not pull us to new depths of despair. From honest failure can come valuable experience.
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

William Arthur Ward
Another fresh new year is here. Another year to live! To Banish worry, doubt and fear, to love and give
William Arthur Ward
The experienced mountain climber is not intimidated by a mountain - he is inspired by it. The persistent winner is not discouraged by a problem--he is challenged by it. Mountains are created to be conquered adversities are designed to be defeated problems are sent to be solved. It is better to master one mountain than a thousand foothills.
William Arthur Ward
Do more than belong: participate. Do more than care: help. Do more than believe: practice. Do more than be fair: be kind. Do more than forgive: forget. Do more than dream: work.
William Arthur Ward
Encourage me, and I will not forget you.
William Arthur Ward
Each of us will one day be judged by our standard of life, not by our standard of living by our measure of giving, not by our measure of wealth by our simple goodness, not by our seeming greatness.
William Arthur Ward
The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.
William Arthur Ward
The regeneration of a sinner is an evidence of power in the highest sphere--moral nature with the highest prerogative--to change nature and operating to the highest result--not to create originally, which is great but to create anew, which is greater.
William Arthur Ward
Faith is knowing there is an ocean because you have seen a brook.
William Arthur Ward
A religion without the Holy Ghost, though it had all the ordinances and all the doctrines of the New Testament, would certainly not be Christianity.
William Arthur Ward
If laser beams can cut through mountains, why should we doubt the power of prayer?
William Arthur Ward
Opportunity is often difficult to recognize we usually expect it to beckon us with beepers and billboards.
William Arthur Ward
Optimism is a seed sown in the soil of faith pessimism is a seed hoarded in the vault of doubt.
William Arthur Ward
Real optimism is aware of problems but recognizes the solutions, knows about difficulties but believes they can be overcome, sees the negatives but accentuates the positives, is exposed to the worst but expects the best, has reason to complain but chooses to smile.
William Arthur Ward
Raised voices lower esteem. Hot tempers cool friendships. Loose tongues stretch truth. Swelled heads shrink influence. Sharp words dull respect.
