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

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

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

To give and then not feel that one has given is the very best of all ways of giving.

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.

Nobody who ever gave his best regretted it.

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

Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.

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

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