William Arthur Ward
 Christmas is more than a time of music, merriment and mirth;it is a season of meditation, mangers and miracles. Christmas is more than a time of carols, cards and candy; it is a season of dedication and decision. |
| Committing a great truth to memory is admirable; committing it to life is wisdom. |
| Curiosity is the wick in the candle of learning. |
| Do more than belong: participate. Do more than care: help. Do more than believe: practice. Do more than be fair: be kind. Do more than forgive: forget. Do more than dream: work. |

| Enthusiasm is the match that lights the candle of achievement. |
| Every person has the power to make others happy. Some do it simply by entering a room -- others by leaving the room. Some individuals leave trails of gloom; others, trails of joy. Some leave trails of hate and bitterness; others, trails of love and harmony. Some leave trails of cynicism and pessimism; others trails of faith and optimism. Some leave trails of criticism and resignation; others trails of gratitude and hope. What kind of trails do you leave? |
| Failure is delay, but not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead-end street. |
| 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. |
| Faith is knowing there is an ocean because you have seen a brook. |
| Faith sees a beautiful blossom in a bulb, a lovely garden in a seed, and a giant oak in an acorn. |
| Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. |
| Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. |
| Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. |
| 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. |
