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

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 and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.

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

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

Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.

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

I will do my best. That is all I can do. I ask for your help - and God's.

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