" "Optimists enrich the present, enhance the future,challenge the improbable and attain the impossible
William Arthur Ward (1921–1994) was an American motivational writer who composed more than 4,000 epigrams. His short inspirational sayings were published in Reader's Digest and ran on the front page of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram through his column "Pertinent Proverbs," and were gathered into some thirteen books, among them Thoughts of a Christian Optimist, Fountains of Faith, Reward Yourself!, and Think It Over. A graduate of McMurry College (1948), he spent much of his career as an assistant to the president of Texas Wesleyan College in Fort Worth and was active in Methodist church and civic life. His aphorisms remain widely reproduced on inspirational posters, greeting cards, and wall plaques.
