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

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

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

The best way to destroy an enemy is to make him a friend.

At his best, man is the noblest of all animals separated from law and justice he is the worst.

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

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

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.

Nobody who ever gave his best regretted it.

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