William Arthur Ward
 A friend is one with whom you are comfortable, to whom you are loyal, through whom you are blessed, and for whom you are grateful. |
| A pinch of praise is worth a pound of scorn. A dash of encouragement is more helpful than a dipper of pessimism. A cup of kindness is better than a cupboard of criticism. |
| A second-class effort is a first-class mistake. |
| A true friend knows your weaknesses but shows you your strengths; feels your fears but fortifies your faith; sees your anxieties but frees your spirit; recognizes your disabilities but emphasizes your possibilities. |
| A warm smile is the universal language of kindness. |
| A well-developed sense of humor is the pole that adds balance to your steps as you walk the tightrope of life. |
| Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records. |
| An optimist will tell you the glass is half-full; the pessimist, half-empty; and the engineer will tell you the glass is twice the size it needs to be |
| Another fresh new year is here . . .
Another year to live! To banish worry, doubt, and fear, To love and laugh and give! This bright new year is given me To live each day with zest . . . To daily grow and try to be My highest and my best! I have the opportunity Once more to right some wrongs, To pray for peace, to plant a tree, And sing more joyful songs! |
| 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. |
| Before you speak, listen.
Before you write, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you invest, investigate. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. Before you retire, save. Before you die, give. |
| Believe while others are doubting.
Plan while others are playing. Study while others are sleeping. Decide while others are delaying. Prepare while others are daydreaming. Begin while others are procrastinating. Work while others are wishing. Save while others are wasting. Listen while others are talking. Smile while others are frowning. Commend while others are criticizing. Persist while others are quitting. |
| 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 |
| Change, like sunshine, can be a friend or a foe, a blessing or a curse, a dawn or a dusk. |
| Character is always lost when a high ideal is sacrificed on the altars of conformity and popularity. |
