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

Living well is the best revenge.

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

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.

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.

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

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

He who has done his best for his own time has lived for all times.

Since we live in this world, we have to do our best for this world.

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.
