Man, like the bridge, was designed to carry the load of the moment, not the combined weight of a year at once.
William Arthur WardA 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.
William Arthur WardBlessed is the person who sees the need, recognizes the responsibility, and actively becomes the answer.
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.
