Walters, Barbara
To excel is to reach your own highest dream. But you must also help others, where and when you can, to reach theirs. Personal gain is empty if you do not feel you have positively touched another’s life.
Happiness is an attitude of mind, born of the simple determination to be happy under all outward circumstances.
Walton, Sam (1918-1992), founder, Wal-Mart
Outstanding leaders go out of the way to boost the self-esteem of their personnel. If people believe in themselves, it’s amazing what they can accomplish.
Our best ideas come from clerks and stock boys.

Associate
yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation for 'tis
better to be alone than in bad company.
Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience.
Actions, not words, are the true criteria of the attachment of friends.
Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.
Welch, C.E.
Many
men fail because they quit too soon. They
lose faith when the signs are against them.
They do not have the courage to hold on, to keep fighting in spite of
that which seems insurmountable. If
more of us would strike out and attempt the “impossible,” we very soon would
find truth of that old saw that nothing is impossible . . . . Abolish fear and
you can accomplish anything you wish.
Wesley, John
Do
all the good you can,
In
all the ways you can,
In
all the places you can,
At
all the times you can,
To
all the people you can,
As
long as ever you can.
Whitehorn,
Katherine
Find out what you like doing best and get someone to pay you for doing it.
White, Paul Dudley, (1886-1973), physician
A vigorous five-mile walk will do more good for an unhappy but otherwise healthy adult than all the medicine and psychology in the world.
Who,
being loved, is poor?
Will, George
Inequalities are intractable, particularly in a free society, because they arise from the unequal distribution of the capacities for adding economic value in society.
I’ve
found in life the more you practice the better you get.
If you want something enough and work hard to get it your chances of
success are much greater.
Willour, Margaret
Never lose sight of the fact that old age needs so little but needs that little so much.
Wilson,
Eugene S.
Only the curious will learn and only the resolute will overcome the obstacles to learning. The quest quotient has always excited me more than the intelligence quotient.
Wilson, Kemmons
Opportunity comes often. It knocks as often as you have an ear trained to hear it, an eye trained to see it, a hand trained to grasp it, and a head trained to use it.
Wilson, Woodrow
Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.
Winchell
A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.
Wong, Jan
In Chinese, the word for crisis is wei ji, composed of the character wei, which means danger, and ji, which means opportunity.
Wooden, John, basketball coach
Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is what you really are while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
Never try to be better than someone else, learn from others and never cease trying to be the best you can be.
My
personal definition of success is—“peace of mind which is a direct result of
self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you
are capable.”
Wolf, Thomas
Go,
seeker, if you will, throughout the land. . . . Observe the whole of it, survey
it as you might survey
a field. . . . It's your oyster—yours to open if you
will. . . . Just make yourself at home, refresh yourself, get the feel of
things, adjust your sights, and get the scale. . . . To every man his
chance—to every man, regardless of his birth, his shining, golden
opportunity—to every man the right to live, to work, to be himself, and to
become whatever thing his manhood and his vision can combine to make him—this,
seeker, is the promise of America.
Woolf, Virginia
It's no use trying to sum people up. One must follow hints, not exactly what is said, nor yet entirely what is done.
Wordsworth,
William
He
only judges right who weighs, compares
And,
in the sternest sentence which his voice
Pronounces,
ne'er abandons charity.
Wright, Frank Lloyd
The thing always
happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen.
Wilbur Wright (1867-1912) and Orville Wright (1871-1948), inventors
We could hardly wait to get up in the morning!
