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
When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.
The best way to resolve any problem in the human world is for all sides to sit down and talk.
