William Arthur Ward

Curiosity is the wick in the candle of learning.

Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records.

Lose yourself in generous service and every day can be a most unusual day, a triumphant day, an abundantly rewarding day!

The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.

Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you.

If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it.

A well-developed sense of humor is the pole that adds balance to your steps as you walk the tightrope of life.

Forgiveness is a funny thing. It warms the heart and cools the sting.

Happiness is an inside job.

Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.

Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.

Change, like sunshine, can be a friend or a foe, a blessing or a curse, a dawn or a dusk.
