Four steps to achievement: Plan purposefully. Prepare prayerfully. Proceed positively. Pursue persistently.
William Arthur Ward
Man, like the bridge, was designed to carry the load of the moment, not the combined weight of a year at once.
William Arthur Ward

William Arthur Ward
A cloudy day is no match for a sunny disposition.
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
The essence of life is to care. The beauty of life is to give.
William Arthur Ward

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
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

William Arthur Ward
The adventure of life is to learn.
William Arthur Ward
Greatness is not found in possessions, power, position, or prestige. It is discovered in goodness, humility, service, and character.
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
Three keys to more abundant living: caring about others, daring for others, sharing with others.
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
Blessed is the person who sees the need, recognizes the responsibility, and actively becomes the answer.
William Arthur Ward
Giving is more than a responsibility-it is a privilege more than an act of obedience-it is evidence of our faith.
William Arthur Ward
Curiosity is the wick in the candle of learning.
William Arthur Ward
The more we count the blessings we have, the less we crave the luxuries we haven't.
