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

Short words are best and the old words when short are best of all.

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

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.

The worst men often give the best advice.

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

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

To help yourself, you must be yourself. Be the best that you can be. When you make a mistake, learn from it, pick yourself up and move on.

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