" "if you can imagine it, you can achieve it, if you can dream it, you can become it
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.

To Risk
To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out 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 live is to risk dying,
To hope is to risk despair,
To try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken because
the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing, does nothing,
has nothing, is nothing.
