The best thing to do with the best things in life is to give them up.

I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.

I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow.

This is the precept by which I have lived: Prepare for the worst expect the best and take what comes.

It is no use saying, 'We are doing our best.' You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.

I always prefer to believe the best of everybody, it saves so much trouble.

I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best both for the body and the mind.

He who has done his best for his own time has lived for all times.

To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose, the next best.

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
