Motivational writer. He became a Private in the United States Army in 1942 and left the military four years later as a Captain. He then attended McMurry University before eventually receiving a Master's Degree from Oklahoma State University. He was the writer of the column "Pertinent Proverbs" in the Fort Worth "Star-Telegram" newspaper, author of the book "Fountains of Faith" (1970), and the writer of more than 100 articles and poems that were published in magazines including "Reader's Digest," "The Christian Home," and "Sunshine." He was an editor, teacher, public speaker, college administrator, and pastor, and served on the board of directors for several nonprofit organizations. He is perhaps best remembered as one of America's most quoted writers of inspirational maxims.
