William Arthur Ward

William Arthur Ward (1921–1994) war ein US-amerikanischer Hochschuladministrator, methodistischer Laienprediger und Publizist aus Texas. Bekanntheit erlangte er als produktiver Aphoristiker und Motivationsautor, dessen tausende Sinnsprüche christliche Tugenden wie Dankbarkeit, Nächstenliebe und gegenseitige Ermutigung thematisieren. Für Bibelleser bieten seine prägnanten Aphorismen bis heute alltagsnahe Denkanstöße für eine praktische christliche Lebensführung.
