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

Clever men are good, but they are not the best.

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

The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.

Whether it's the best of times or the worst of times, it's the only time we've got.

In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher.

The best road to progress is freedom's road.

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.

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

I am as bad as the worst, but, thank God, I am as good as the best.
