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
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

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
Real optimism has reason to complain but prefers to smile.
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
Nothing limits achievement like small thinking nothing expands possibilities like unleashed imagination.
William Arthur Ward
Do more than be fair: be kind.
William Arthur Ward
