William Arthur Ward quotes about
be-kind kind fairs
Do more than be fair: be kind.
winner problem discouraged
The persistent winner is not discouraged by a problem - he is challenged by it.
giving joy thrill
The momentary thrill of getting rarely equals the lasting joy of giving.
deep-love climbing risk
The greatest hazard in life is to risk NOTHING.
motivation depends
Do you depend on others for motivation - or can you motivate yourself?
taken climbing wind
But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live. Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom. Only a person who risks is free. The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; and the realist adjusts the sails
prayer cutting doubt
If laser beams can cut through mountains, why should we doubt the power of prayer?
friendship valleys walks
A friend is one who joyfully sings with you when you are on the mountaintop, and silently walks beside you through the valley.
happiness happy jobs
Happiness is an inside job.
opportunity challenges found
Our greatest challenge-our greatest opportunity-is found in these words: 'Choose ye this day....'.
adversity giving sorrow
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.
beautiful inspiration ideas
The greatest ideas, the most profound thoughts, and the most beautiful poetry are born from the womb of silence
affirmation loser winner
'If only' is the excuse of the loser; 'I can' is the affirmation of the winner.
new-year zest years
This bright new year is given me
