It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

It's a funny thing about life if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it.

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

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

The best way to keep one's word is not to give it.

A failure is not always a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying.

The best things in life are unexpected - because there were no expectations.

Expect the best. Prepare for the worst. Capitalize on what comes.

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

Common looking people are the best in the world: that is the reason the Lord makes so many of them.
