Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.

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

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

In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher.

Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.

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

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

I always prefer to believe the best of everybody, it saves so much trouble.

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.
