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.

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

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.

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

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

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

When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.

Clever men are good, but they are not the best.

The best road to progress is freedom's road.
