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

The best road to progress is freedom's road.

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

Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.

Since we live in this world, we have to do our best for this world.

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

Living well is the best revenge.
