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

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.

Short words are best and the old words when short are best of all.

It's a funny thing about life if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it.

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.

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

I do the very best I know how - the very best I can and I mean to keep on doing so until the end.

Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.

I am as bad as the worst, but, thank God, I am as good as the best.

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