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.
William Arthur WardThree enemies of personal peace: regret over yesterdayโs mistakes, anxiety over tomorrowโs problems, and ingratitude for todayโs blessings.
William Arthur WardFreedom's enemies are waste, lethargy, indifference, immorality, and the insidious attitude of something for nothing.
William Arthur WardTo laugh is to risk appearing a fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
