William Arthur Ward
 One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn't pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself. |
| Opportunities are like sunrises -- if you wait too long, you miss them. |
| Opportunity is often difficult to recognize; we usually expect it to beckkon us with beepers and billboards. |
| Optimism is a seed sown in the soil of faith; pessimism is a seed hoarded in the vault of doubt. |
| Optimists enrich the present, enhance the future, challenge the improbable and attain the impossible. |
| Skillful listening is the best remedy for loneliness, loquaciousness, and laryngitis. |
| Study while others are sleeping; work while others are loafing; prepare while others are playing; and dream while others are wishing. |
| Teaching is more than imparting knowledge, it is inspiring change. Learning is more than absorbing facts, it is acquiring understanding. |
| The experienced mountain climber is not intimidated by a mountain -- he is inspired by it. The persistent winner is not discouraged by a problem -- he is challenged by it. Mountains are created to be conquered; adversities are designed to be defeated; problems are sent to be solved. It is better to master one mountain than a thousand foothills. |
| The greatest failure is the failure to try. |
| The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires. |
| The optimist lives on the peninsula of infinite possibilities; the pessimist is stranded on the island of perpetual indecision. |
| The optimist pleasantly ponders how high his kite will fly; the pessimist woefully wonders how soon his kite will fall. |
| 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; the realist adjusts the sails. |
