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.

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

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

I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best both for the body and the mind.

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

If you want to go somewhere, it is best to find someone who has already been there.

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

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

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

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.
