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

Most of the things we decide are not what we know to be the best. We say yes, merely because we are driven into a corner and must say something.

There is only one real sin and that is to persuade oneself that the second best is anything but second best.

Nobody who ever gave his best regretted it.

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