William Arthur Ward

William Arthur Ward

William Arthur Ward
The winner asks, May I help? The loser asks, Do you expect me to do that?
William Arthur Ward
Failure is delay, but not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead-end street.
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
The adventure of life is to learn.
William Arthur Ward
As the valley gives height to the mountain, so can sorrow give meaning to pleasure as the well is the source of the fountain, deep adversity can be a treasure.
William Arthur Ward
The more generous we are, the more joyous we become. The more cooperative we are, the more valuable we become. The more enthusiastic we are, the more productive we become. The more serving we are, the more prosperous we become.
William Arthur Ward
