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

This is the precept by which I have lived: Prepare for the worst expect the best and take what comes.

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

The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.

In times of great stress or adversity, it's always best to keep busy, to plow your anger and your energy into something positive.

The best way to keep one's word is not to give it.

Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations.

The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.

Nobody who ever gave his best regretted it.

Our prayers should be for blessings in general, for God knows best what is good for us.
