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.


Walters, J. Donald   

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.


Ward, William Arthur,

Washington, George 

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.


Wilde, Oscar 

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.


Williams, Ted 
 

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, Walter 

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.”
- The Most Important Thing I Know, Lorne A. Adrain (1997)


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!
