William Arthur Ward was a Louisiana native, an army veteran, an Oklahoma State and University of Texas alum, a Christian, an inspirational author, a church and community leader, an educator, and a motivational speaker. His works include Fountains of Faith, Thoughts of a Christian Optimist, and For This One Hour. He is most known for his inspirational quotes:
• “If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become 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.”
• “Four steps to achievement: Plan purposefully. Prepare prayerfully. Proceed positively. Pursue persistently.”
• “The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.”
• “We can throw stones, complain about them, stumble on them, climb over them, or build with them.”
By living his life’s philosophy, Ward’s poetry and inspirational thoughts have gone on to motivate and inspire the next generation to go after their dreams, love on purpose, and make the most of what life brings.
