This is the precept by which I have lived: Prepare for the worst expect the best and take what comes.
Whether it's the best of times or the worst of times, it's the only time we've got.
whether, times, best, worst of times
The best way to resolve any problem in the human world is for all sides to sit down and talk.
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.
BEST, A FAILURE IS NOT ALWAYS A MISTAKE
