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.

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.

He who has done his best for his own time has lived for all times.

The short words are best, and the old words are the best of all.

I always prefer to believe the best of everybody, it saves so much trouble.

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

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.

The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.

Nobody who ever gave his best regretted it.
