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.
You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give.
It's a funny thing about life if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it.
I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best both for the body and the mind.
I do the very best I know how - the very best I can and I mean to keep on doing so until the end.
Common looking people are the best in the world: that is the reason the Lord makes so many of them.
