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.

Enthusiasm is the best protection in any situation. Wholeheartedness is contagious. Give yourself, if you wish to get others.

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.

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

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.

Since we live in this world, we have to do our best for this world.

Our prayers should be for blessings in general, for God knows best what is good for us.
