It is no use saying, 'We are doing our best.' You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.

I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best both for the body and the mind.

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

The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.

To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose, the next best.

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

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 worst men often give the best advice.

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

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.
