| Jackie Collins | If you want to achieve your dreams, you must follow them, and the best way to follow them is not to think about wanting to be very rich, but to think about doing something that you really want to do. | 101 |
| Jasmine Guinness | I've known my best friend since I was a baby, and I don't know what I would do without her. She is always straight with me and can make me laugh hysterically. Everyone should have someone like that in their life. | 101 |
| Jay Weatherill | Defence is our best attack. | 101 |
| Joe Montana | Cause there's only one reason for doing anything that you set out to do. if you don't want to be the best, then there's no reason going out and trying to accomplish anything. | 101 |
| Jose Canseco | Because I tried to everything possible to become the best player in the world? Do I believe steroids and growth hormones helped me achieve that? Yes. Were there a lot of other players doing it that I had to compete against? Yes. | 101 |
| Kate Capshaw | The best preparation for acting is life - observing life and people and observing yourself. All that becomes your library. So when you have to research a part, a scene or an emotion, you go into the library and get what you need. | 101 |
| Meg Cabot | I actually love writing for teens best. I had such an awful time in my own teen years - I love having the chance to relive them through my fiction. | 101 |
| Ralph Bakshi | Cartooning at its best is a fine art. I'm a cartoonist who works in the medium of animation, which also allows me to paint my cartoons. | 101 |
| Rick Ross | The best method for preventing destructive cult involvement is preventative education. If students and the public at large are more aware of destructive groups beforehand they may better understand and resist their recruitment efforts. | 101 |
| Rupert Sheldrake | Science at its best is an open-minded method of inquiry, not a belief system. | 101 |
| Sarah Orne Jewett | Yes'm, old friends is always best, 'less you can catch a new one that's fit to make an old one out of. | 101 |
| Thomas Bulfinch | For Mythology is the handmaid of literature; and literature is one of the best allies of virtue and promoters of happiness. | 101 |
| Tom Cochrane | Very often out of adversity that's when the best work comes. | 101 |
| Tom Morello | Music, I think, is best when it honestly explores personal demons, and it stirs around in the silt of the psyche to find out what's really there. | 101 |
| Athenaeus | Old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read. | 101 |
| Jennifer Egan | The bottom line is that I like my first drafts to be blind, unconscious, messy efforts; that's what gets me the best material. | 101 |
| Jonah Lomu | I always say to people that you have never seen the best of me, and that's what I mean - I've never been fully fit. | 101 |
| Konrad von Gesner | Best of all is it to preserve everything in a pure, still heart, and let there be for every pulse a thanksgiving, and for every breath a song. | 101 |
| Lady Randolph Churchill | Treat your friends as you do your best pictures, and place them in their best light. | 101 |
| Lauren Alaina | I knew Scotty was going to win. At the beginning of the episode, I was like, 'Scotty, are you ready to win?'. I knew he was going to in my heart. I accepted it. I couldn't pick a more perfect person to get second place to. He's my best friend. | 101 |
| Louis Dudek | The philistine provides the best definition of art. Anything that makes him rage is first class. | 101 |
| Michael Crawford | I think one of the best words in the English language is 'compassion.' I think it holds everything. It holds love, it holds care... and if everybody just did something. We all make a difference. | 101 |
| Michael Ealy | I would love to have a complete family. I'd love to do it all at once. I'd love to be able to give to my children what my parents were able to give to me. And if I'm blessed to be able to do that, fantastic. If I'm not, then life goes on. You have to do the best you can. I do think we have to bring the family back; I do. | 101 |
| Phil Roe | I think our veterans certainly deserve and have earned the best health care in the world. | 101 |
| Renee Olstead | The biggest ingredient in a best friend is someone whose actions you respect and who you can truly be yourself around. | 101 |
| Robert Irwin | For the next week, try the best you can to pay attention to sounds. You will start hearing all these sounds coming in. Once you let them in, you've already done the first and most critical thing, you've honored that information by including it. And by doing that, you've actually changed the world. | 101 |
| Roselyn Sanchez | My mother always gives the best advice. When I left Puerto Rico to pursue my dreams, she always supported me and said to me, 'I'm never going to cut your wings, so don't let anyone else do that to you.' That has been my philosophy through life. I want to share that valuable lesson with my little girl someday. | 101 |
| Scott Fujita | I look at my grandparents and what they dealt with in the Japanese internment in Arizona. That sense of perseverance, of making the best out of an incredibly bad situation, has always been something I drew inspiration from. I always ask myself, 'What in the world do I have to complain about?' | 101 |
| Thomas Marshburn | We have to be plumbers, electricians, construction engineers, or workers, on the space station, but at the same time running a laboratory, being scientists, being the best laboratory assistants we can be. It's all in a bundle; it's very exciting, it's a lot of fun. | 101 |
| Ashley Olsen | She's always there for me when I need her; She's my best friend; she's just my everything. | 101 |
| Chad Hugo | For me, I'm just trying to be the best at what I do. I'll wave an Asian American flag if I get that opportunity. I'm not hiding or trying to discredit my background or anything, I just haven't had the opportunity. | 101 |
| Christopher Abbott | It's one of the most beautiful things in the world, to go off and make a film. At the heart of it, making a film - it's pretend. It's a silly thing to do. But it can be important, and to have that experience with people you love is one of the best things you can do. | 101 |
| Claudette Colbert | I know what's best for me, after all I have been in the Claudette Colbert business longer than anybody. | 101 |
| Jessica Hahn | I believe in God, because he is the only thing that kept me going. He's my best friend. | 101 |
| Joe Barton | Our flag honors those who have fought to protect it, and is a reminder of the sacrifice of our nation's founders and heroes. As the ultimate icon of America's storied history, the Stars and Stripes represents the very best of this nation. | 101 |
| John Romero | In marketing I've seen only one strategy that can't miss - and that is to market to your best customers first, your best prospects second and the rest of the world last. | 101 |
| Malcolm Wilson | It's like someone cutting up a loved one in front of you, all the time insisting they've got your best interests at heart. They're very devious nowadays. | 101 |
| Marvin Minsky | In general we are least aware of what our minds do best. | 101 |
| Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore | You can't say what the outcome of a competition is going to be, so now I am ready to accept any result that comes my way, if I give my best shot. | 101 |
| Richard Foster | Leadership is an act of submission to God. To be a leader means listening to all kinds of people and situations. Out of that listening, we are hoping to discern the mind of God as best we can. This is the price of leadership - it's an act of sacrifice. So leadership is part and parcel of the work of submission to God. | 101 |
| Susannah York | I feel I'd like to share my luck and my life. Being in love is the best thing in the world. | 101 |
| Anna Garlin Spencer | Can a woman become a genius of the first class? Nobody can know unless women in general shall have equal opportunity with men in education, in vocational choice, and in social welcome of their best intellectual work for a number of generations. | 101 |
| Anthony Hitt | To be successful in real estate, you must always and consistently put your clients' best interests first. When you do, your personal needs will be realized beyond your greatest expectations. | 101 |
| Barbara Feldon | I'm not saying that there's anything better than mated bliss at its best, but I'm saying that living alone is as good in its own way. But we haven't quite given ourselves permission to recognize that. | 101 |
| Benjamin Franklin Fairless | What is the recipe for successful achievement? To my mind there are just four essential ingredients: Choose a career you love, give it the best there is in you, seize your opportunities, and be a member of the team. | 101 |
| Blaine Lee | The great leaders are like the best conductors - they reach beyond the notes to reach the magic in the players. | 101 |
| Dorothy Gilman | If something anticipated arrives too late it finds us numb, wrung out from waiting, and we feel - nothing at all. The best things arrive on time. | 101 |
| Joe Moore | Before borrowing money from a friend it's best to decide which you need most. | 101 |
| Judd Apatow | The moment you think of a joke is the best moment. | 101 |
| Julie Bishop | And I believe that the best buy in public health today must be a combination of regular physical exercise and a healthy diet. | 101 |
| Marsha Thomason | I never understand when people say, 'School days are the best of your life.' So it's all downhill from 16? How depressing. | 101 |
| Mireille Mathieu | Music is the best way for me to say I love you. | 101 |
| Mohnish Pabrai | Mistakes are the best teachers. One does not learn from success. It is desirable to learn vicariously from other people's failures, but it gets much more firmly seared in when they are your own. | 101 |
| Ronnie Lott | Most people would say safety was my best position. To me, the biggest challenge and most gratifying thing I got out of playing football was playing corner, because it was a bigger challenge than playing safety. Playing corner provided me my biggest thrills and my biggest headaches. | 101 |
| Al Jolson | A responsive audience is the best encouragement an actor can have. | 101 |
| Al Lopez | Do what you love to do and give it your very best. Whether it's business or baseball, or the theater, or any field. If you don't love what you're doing and you can't give it your best, get out of it. Life is too short. You'll be an old man before you know it. | 101 |
| Collis Potter Huntington | Mark Hopkins was one of the truest and best men that ever lived. He had a keen analytical mind; was thoroughly accurate, and took general supervision of the books, contracts, etc. He was strictly the office man, and never bought or sold anything. I always felt when I was in the East that our business in his hands was entirely safe. | 101 |
| James Cagney | You know, the period of World War I and the Roaring Twenties were really just about the same as today. You worked, and you made a living if you could, and you tired to make the best of things. For an actor or a dancer, it was no different then than today. It was a struggle. | 101 |
| Magdalena Neuner | My life motto is 'Do my best, so that I can't blame myself for anything.' | 101 |
| Marc Cherry | I love the idea of a beautiful neighborhood that represents the very best of American values, but also as a fun backdrop to some darker, deliciously sneaky things going on in people's lives. | 101 |
| Marlene Dumas | The best works do not necessarily get to auction. I like to draw, so maybe I give you a little drawing. And then eventually it ends up at auction. And then critics say, 'Oh, that's a bad drawing!' Well, I didn't say it was so wonderful. | 101 |
| Raymond Duncan | The best substitute for experience is being sixteen. | 101 |
| Alan Kulwicki | In every aspect of life, have a game plan, and then do your best to achieve it. | 101 |
| Jasper Carrott | Laughter is the best medicine - unless you're diabetic, then insulin comes pretty high on the list. | 101 |
| Joe Green | We could not have launched Causes without Facebook Platform, providing real identity and real friends. Facebook Platform was created so that experiences that are inherently social in our off-line lives could be brought online as an authentic expression of who we are; Facebook did this best in revolutionizing photo sharing. | 101 |
| John Webster | Lay this unto your breast: Old friends, like old swords, still are trusted best. | 101 |
| John Schlesinger | Symbolism perhaps is a bit in your face, and I've tried my best to control that as best I can as I've grown older and thought that one could approach something with a little more subtlety. | 101 |
| Jon Kyl | One of the things that makes our military the best in the world is the certain knowledge of each soldier, sailor, airman, and Marine that they can always count on their comrades should they need help - that they will never be abandoned. | 101 |
| Jack Lemmon | I have lost someone I loved as a brother, as a closest friend, and a remarkable human being. We have also lost one of the best damn actors we'll ever see. | 101 |
| James Howell | This life at best is but an inn, And we the passengers. | 101 |
| Jim Palmer | Losing is no disgrace if you've given your best. | 101 |
| Jamie Luner | Hiking is the best workout!... You can hike for three hours and not even realize you're working out. And, hiking alone lets me have some time to myself. | 101 |
| Jack Hannah | The best thing to do is just leave them alone. Alligators want to be away from you just as much as you want to be away from them. | 101 |
| Edgar Allan Poe | The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins? | 102 |
| Epictetus | The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best. | 102 |
| Henry Ford | My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me. | 102 |
| Lil Wayne | I always believe that to be the best, you have to smell like the best, dress like the best, act like the best. When you throw your trash in the garbage can, it has to be better than anybody else who ever threw trash in the garbage can. | 102 |
| Ludwig Wittgenstein | The human body is the best picture of the human soul. | 102 |
| Norman Schwarzkopf | A great deal of the capability of an army is its dedication to its cause and its will to fight. You can have the best equipment in the world, you can have the largest numbers in the world, but, if you're not dedicated to your cause, if you don't have the will to fight, then, you are not going to have a very good army. | 102 |
| Saint Teresa of Avila | Mental prayer in my opinion is nothing else than an intimate sharing between friends; it means taking time frequently to be alone with Him who we know loves us. The important thing is not to think much but to love much and so do that which best stirs you to love. Love is not great delight but desire to please God in everything. | 102 |
| Vince Lombardi | The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand. | 102 |
| Vladimir Lenin | The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency. | 102 |
| Walt Whitman | I am as bad as the worst, but, thank God, I am as good as the best. | 102 |
| Kevin Mitnick | At the end of the day, my goal was to be the best hacker. | 102 |
| Aung San Suu Kyi | Humor is one of the best ingredients of survival. | 102 |
| Elizabeth Cady Stanton | The best protection any woman can have... is courage. | 102 |
| Jack Welch | Globalization has changed us into a company that searches the world, not just to sell or to source, but to find intellectual capital - the world's best talents and greatest ideas. | 102 |
| Lionel Messi | I prefer to win titles with the team ahead of individual awards or scoring more goals than anyone else. I'm more worried about being a good person than being the best football player in the world. When all this is over, what are you left with? When I retire, I hope I am remembered for being a decent guy. | 102 |
| Richard Bach | The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it. | 102 |
| Robert Louis Stevenson | We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend. | 102 |
| William Osler | The best preparation for tomorrow is to do today's work superbly well. | 102 |
| Aishwarya Rai Bachchan | I just take on what I can commit to completely at that point in time, and that way you'll be able to give your best. | 102 |
| Albert Ellis | The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny. | 102 |
| Andrew Lloyd Webber | All I've ever tried to do is get the best out of people and to bring a bit of humour into it. Unlike, say, 'The X-Factor,' which may be great TV, but has no humour at all. | 102 |
| Anthony Bourdain | Meals make the society, hold the fabric together in lots of ways that were charming and interesting and intoxicating to me. The perfect meal, or the best meals, occur in a context that frequently has very little to do with the food itself. | 102 |
| Ashton Kutcher | Modeling is the best because you have to look hot, which comes easy to me, you know. I'm blessed with that. | 102 |
| Barbara Mikulski | I thought in this country, the best social program was a job. Yet minimum wage jobs aren't paying enough to keep families out of poverty. | 102 |
| Ben Stiller | I have a lot of nervous energy. Work is my best way of channelling that into something productive unless I want to wind up assaulting the postman or gardener. | 102 |
| Cara Delevingne | When you have balance in your life, work becomes an entirely different experience. There is a passion that moves you to a whole new level of fulfillment and gratitude, and that's when you can do your best... for yourself and for others. | 102 |
| Carrie Underwood | My cell phone is my best friend. It's my lifeline to the outside world. | 102 |
| Charles Eames | Choose your corner, pick away at it carefully, intensely and to the best of your ability and that way you might change the world. | 102 |
| Charles Kuralt | Good teachers know how to bring out the best in students. | 102 |
| Chester W. Nimitz | Leadership consists of picking good men and helping them do their best. | 102 |
| Christopher Nolan | The best actors instinctively feel out what the other actors need, and they just accommodate it. | 102 |
| Clarence Thomas | Good manners will open doors that the best education cannot. | 102 |
| Condoleezza Rice | Success is not assured, but America is resolute: this is the best chance for peace we are likely to see for some years to come - and we are acting to help Israelis and Palestinians seize this chance. | 102 |
| Coretta Scott King | Mama and Daddy King represent the best in manhood and womanhood, the best in a marriage, the kind of people we are trying to become. | 102 |
| Cornel West | A black agenda is jobs, jobs, jobs, quality education, investment in infrastructure and strong democratic regulation of corporations. The black agenda, at its best, looks at America from the vantage point of the least of these and asks what's best for all. | 102 |
| Cornelius Vanderbilt | I have always served the public to the best of my ability. Why? Because, like every other man, it is to my interest to do so. | 102 |
| David Bailey | The best advice I ever got was that knowledge is power and to keep reading. | 102 |
| Dawn French | My best friend is the most important girl, outside of family, to me. I met her when I went to college and we bonded immediately. I'd do anything for her at any time. We phone each other every day. | 102 |
| Derek Jeter | My best vacation is somewhere I could hide, somewhere warm and not a lot of people around. | 102 |
| Don Rickles | My life was in Montreal years ago. Best food in the world. | 102 |
| Earl Nightingale | We are at our very best, and we are happiest, when we are fully engaged in work we enjoy on the journey toward the goal we've established for ourselves. It gives meaning to our time off and comfort to our sleep. It makes everything else in life so wonderful, so worthwhile. | 102 |
| Edward Everett Hale | The making of friends who are real friends, is the best token we have of a man's success in life. | 102 |
| Erin Heatherton | If you work hard and you do your best, you can do anything. | 102 |
| Fergie | For me, healthy eating and exercising is something I work on constantly. I'm not the most disciplined dieter. I try to eat a lot of fruit and vegetables but sometimes late at night I tend to have fast-food meals - and that's where I get myself into trouble! So I'm not in the best shape I could be, but I'm still healthy and comfy. | 102 |
| Frank Gehry | The best advice I've received is to be yourself. The best artists do that. | 102 |
| Frank Press | My attitude toward graduate students was different, I must say. I used graduate students as colleagues: I gave them the best problems to work on, and I encouraged them. | 102 |
| Fred Durst | That's your best friend and your worst enemy - your own brain. | 102 |
| Gisele Bundchen | I'm not afraid of working hard at anything, whatever it is. I just always want to be the best that I can. | 102 |
| Harvey S. Firestone | You get the best out of others when you get the best out of yourself. | 102 |
| Igor Stravinsky | My music is best understood by children and animals. | 102 |
| Jack Nicklaus | The best way to cope with trouble is to stay out of it as much as possible. | 102 |
| James Monroe | The best form of government is that which is most likely to prevent the greatest sum of evil. | 102 |
| Jeremy Clarkson | If you're thinking of coming to America, this is what it's like: you've got your Comfort Inn, you've got your Best Western, and you've got your Red Lobster where you eat. Everybody's very fat, everybody's very stupid and everybody's very rude - it's not a holiday programme, it's the truth. | 102 |
| Jerry Rice | I'm really looking forward to the Hall of Fame ceremonies. It's going to be unbelievable - just crazy. I'm looking forward to thanking all the fans for inspiring me to go out there and play my best football each and every game. | 102 |
| Jim Gaffigan | I'm from Indiana. I know what you're thinking, Indiana... Mafia. But in Indiana it's not like New York where everyone's like, 'We're from New York and we're the best' or 'We're from Texas and we like things big' it's more like 'We're from Indiana and we're gonna move.' | 102 |
| John Greenleaf Whittier | The best of a book is not the thought which it contains, but the thought which it suggests; just as the charm of music dwells not in the tones but in the echoes of our hearts. | 102 |
| Joyce Giraud | With me, what you see is what you get. Yes, call me naive, but I love life. I am happy, and for that, I make no apologies. I do like to see the best in people, and when someone is nice to my face, I tend to believe them. | 102 |
| Lee Iacocca | In times of great stress or adversity, it's always best to keep busy, to plow your anger and your energy into something positive. | 102 |
| Leland Stanford | A man's sentiments are generally just and right, while it is second selfish thought which makes him trim and adopt some other view. The best reforms are worked out when sentiment operates, as it does in women, with the indignation of righteousness. | 102 |
| Marina Abramovic | If you're a baker, making bread, you're a baker. If you make the best bread in the world, you're not an artist, but if you bake the bread in the gallery, you're an artist. So the context makes the difference. | 102 |
| Marlee Matlin | Everybody's got a job to do, and I do mine as best I can. | 102 |
| Martin Scorsese | Now more than ever we need to talk to each other, to listen to each other and understand how we see the world, and cinema is the best medium for doing this. | 102 |
| Michael Gove | As long as there are people in education making excuses for failure, cursing future generations with a culture of low expectations, denying children access to the best that has been thought and written, because Nemo and the Mister Men are more relevant, the battle needs to be joined. | 102 |
| Mos Def | Focused. I'm a hustler. And my hustle is trying to figure out the best ways to do what I like without having to do much else. | 102 |
| Neil LaBute | My best male friend is my best friend until he crosses me. We're all protective of the self. | 102 |
| Noah Baumbach | I'm curious how people build up the codes that they live their life by, and how they come to think that that's the best way for them to function. | 102 |
| Nolan Ryan | It took me a while to figure that out and to realize what a gift that I had been given. And when I finally did, I dedicated myself to be the best pitcher I possibly could be, for as long as I possibly could be. | 102 |
| Oliver Kahn | I have a feeling we are going to be world champions, I can't really explain why. Brazil are probably the best team in the world in terms of individual players. But the team with the most gifted players do not always win. | 102 |
| Orlando Bloom | The best way to look stylish on a budget is to try second-hand, bargain hunting, and vintage. | 102 |
| Pat Robertson | Adoptive parents are taking on enormous responsibility, both emotionally and financially. Quite frankly, they need as much disclosure as possible about the child's background and health to assure the best fit and be prepared. | 102 |
| Paul Valery | The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up. | 102 |
| Reese Witherspoon | Many people worry so much about managing their careers, but rarely spend half that much energy managing their LIVES. I want to make my life, not just my job, the best it can be. The rest will work itself out. | 102 |
| Robin S. Sharma | Hard work opens doors and shows the world that you are serious about being one of those rare - and special - human beings who use the fullness of their talents to do their very best. | 102 |
| Sarah Palin | I am a conservative Republican, a firm believer in free market capitalism. A free market system allows all parties to compete, which ensures the best and most competitive project emerges, and ensures a fair, democratic process. | 102 |
| Seth Shostak | Disasters happen. We still have no way to eliminate earthquakes, wildfires, hurricanes, floods or droughts. We cope as best we can by fortifying ourselves against danger with building codes and levees, and by setting aside money to clean up afterwards. | 102 |
| Sidney Crosby | The biggest thing for me is the passion that I've always had for hockey. I remember growing up, no matter what I did in life, my parents always told me to try to do my best at it and be my best. I can say going through different things that that passion is the most important part. It's not skills or talent or any of that stuff. | 102 |
| Steve Prefontaine | To give anything less than your best, is to sacrifice the gift. | 102 |
| Tina Fey | A Harvard Medical School study has determined that rectal thermometers are still the best way to tell a baby's temperature. Plus, it really teaches the baby who's boss. | 102 |
| Vince Carter | Everybody is different. Everybody has different styles. Just do it the best way you know how. | 102 |
| Wilfrid Laurier | Confederation is a compact, made originally by four provinces but adhered to by all the nine provinces who have entered it, and I submit to the judgment of this house and to the best consideration of its members, that this compact should not be lightly altered. | 102 |
| Alan Kay | The best way to predict the future is to invent it. | 102 |
| Bill Owens | True leadership lies in guiding others to success. In ensuring that everyone is performing at their best, doing the work they are pledged to do and doing it well. | 102 |
| Bryan Batt | Put every light you have on a dimmer. Because after a certain age, we can play with the lighting and set it on how you look best on it. It's cheaper than plastic surgery. | 102 |
| Cary Grant | My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can. | 102 |
| Dale Turner | Some of the best lessons we ever learn are learned from past mistakes. The error of the past is the wisdom and success of the future. | 102 |
| David Miliband | The whole of government needs to contribute to the shared goal of restructuring the British economy. But that means taking on the myth that the Treasury either knows best or can run it all. It just doesn't. | 102 |
| Donna Leon | I came to Venice for the first time in 1968 and was lucky enough to make the acquaintanceship, and then the friendship, of two Venetians, Roberta and Franco, who remain my best friends here after almost 50 years. | 102 |
| Emma Roberts | I grew up with just my mom. She and I were like best friends. She's a very independent woman and I admire that about her. In my life, I've tried to be like that. To be okay with being on my own and being independent. | 102 |
| Franklin Pierce Adams | Health is the thing that makes you feel that now is the best time of the year. | 102 |
| George Grosz | I stood up as best I could to their disgusting stupidity and brutality, but I did not, of course, manage to beat them at their own game. It was a fight to the bitter end, one in which I was not defending ideals or beliefs but simply my own self. | 102 |
| Jane McGonigal | There is no problem that doesn't have some underlying need for more optimism, stamina, resilience and collaboration. And games are, I believe, the best platform we have for providing that. | 102 |
| Joan Baez | Instead of getting hard ourselves and trying to compete, women should try and give their best qualities to men - bring them softness, teach them how to cry. | 102 |
| Kimora Lee Simmons | Live honestly to a higher note. Life is too short. So, do the best you can and live your life to a higher note. | 102 |
| Larry Holmes | I was probably the best that ever walked this earth. And I could take a punch. I could deliver a punch. I didn't have the hardest punch in the world but my punches were sharp and they were crisp. And if you took too many of them, you would be knocked out. | 102 |
| Laura Marano | The best way to get to know the place you are traveling in is to walk around... and the best way to walk around is with comfortable shoes! Grab your travel buddy and your running shoes and go explore! | 102 |
| Liam Payne | It's so amazing to hear a crowd of people singing one of your songs. It's the best feeling. | 102 |
| Ludacris | Working through experience is best for me, just being there and trying to get into the mode. | 102 |
| Luther Vandross | The best part is still ahead of me - I haven't experienced my 'good old days' yet. | 102 |
| Martin Parr | Fashion pictures show people looking glamorous. Travel pictures show a place looking at its best, nothing to do with the reality. In the cookery pages, the food always looks amazing, right? Most of the pictures we consume are propaganda. | 102 |
| Niki Taylor | My greatest life lesson has been that life can change in a second. This is why it's important to always live your best possible life and to do what you can for others. | 102 |
| Plautus | Patience is the best remedy for every trouble. | 102 |
| Red Adair | Throughout my years, I've had the pleasure of assembling and training what I believe to be the best group of people in the world. People with the presence of mind to deal with any flare-up, including my own. People who share the belief that nothing is impossible. | 102 |
| Ruben Blades | I think we risk becoming the best informed society that has ever died of ignorance. | 102 |
| Sonam Kapoor | Being in love is the best feeling on the planet. I really believe that love makes the world go round. | 102 |
| William Gilmore Simms | Tact is one of the first mental virtues, the absence of it is fatal to the best talent. | 102 |
| Abraham Verghese | For one who has an interest in the body as text, airports are treasure troves of information. It seems almost un-American to enjoy delays, and perhaps enjoy is not the best word, but certainly a delayed flight, if it does nothing else, allows one the opportunity to make prolonged observations about one's fellow travelers. | 102 |
| Anna Nicole Smith | For some reason, people think I am this terrible person and it really hurts me to hear that. I am just doing the best I know how to. | 102 |
| Aubrey McClendon | I just wanted to be a businessman, and to me, the best way to understand business was to be an accountant. | 102 |
| Chloe Grace Moretz | I actually work at my craft, and I actually want to be the best in my category, and I want to be a true actress. And a lot of people just want fame, and there's a huge difference. | 102 |
| Christian Kane | It's funny that a lot of the fans of 'Angel' have come over and hung out with me on 'Leverage.' I was so fortunate to have been on that show. It created one of the best fan groups ever. I just have the best fans in the world. | 102 |
| David Morrissey | We have one life and we should cherish it and make it the best we can. | 102 |
| Emmy Rossum | It's the best feeling when you wake up and it's warm and cozy, and you don't have to go to work. | 102 |
| George Halas | Nobody who ever gave his best regretted it. | 102 |
| Jean Giraudoux | Only the mediocre are always at their best. | 102 |
| John Burnside | Sometimes, when the wind hits hard and icicles form on the sea cliffs, we can all come together - and at those times, we are at our best. | 102 |
| Jonny Wilkinson | For me now, I will continue to focus ever harder on my goal of being the very best I can be with Toulon Rugby Club and continue to embrace and enjoy wherever that path takes me. | 102 |
| Judi Dench | I think you should take your job seriously, but not yourself - that is the best combination. | 102 |
| Mike Wallace | Covering Richard Nixon's triumphant run in 1968 turned out to be my last major assignment as a general correspondent for CBS News. In September of that year, '60 Minutes' made its debut and I began the best, the most fulfilling job a reporter could imagine. | 102 |
| Preet Bharara | Insider trading tells everybody at precisely the wrong time that everything is rigged, and only people who have a billion dollars and have access to and are best friends with people who are on boards of directors of major companies - they're the only ones who can make a true buck. | 102 |
| Sam Abell | The best lesson I was given is that all of life teaches, especially if we have that expectation. | 102 |
| Sheherazade Goldsmith | Conservation is key to preserving many of the world's natural beauty spots, so do your best to help by keeping to designated footpaths and being a discerning souvenir collector. | 102 |
| Shemar Moore | I'm raised by a single mom and didn't have pops around for the most part of my life. And she, by any means necessary, gave me the best opportunities that she knew how to give me. | 102 |
| Taye Diggs | The large ensemble cast and the fact that it was being shot in New York, combined with a lot of strong positive images as far as African Americans are concerned, really turned me on to The Best Man. | 102 |
| Tony Parker | Playing in the playoffs is the best basketball in the world, and if you can learn under that pressure, succeed under that pressure, it gives you more confidence the next year. | 102 |
| Townes Van Zandt | I don't think you can ever do your best. Doing your best is a process of trying to do your best. | 102 |
| Alessandra Ambrosio | I have been lucky enough to work with the world's best designers and top stylists - who have been my mentors. | 102 |
| Bess Myerson | Mama never told me, 'Bess, you did good.' She wanted the best for us and she was an incredible administrator. She ran those three kids, that house, the whole bit. But if I looked fine, she'd find something wrong - the color, the hem... I used to tell her, 'Mama, don't worry when you're not with me, because you're with me.' | 102 |
| Bill Simmons | The best under-the-radar rivalry is Dodgers-Giants. I had no idea how deep that one was until I moved to California... that one goes waaaaaaaaay back, and both sides absolutely detest each other. Fights in the stands, fights in the parking lot, the whole thing. It's every bit as bitter as Yankees-Red Sox without nearly the same hype. | 102 |
| Bob Cousy | Do your best when no one is looking. If you do that, then you can be successful in anything that you put your mind to. | 102 |
| Charles A. Beard | You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for independence. | 102 |
| Chrisette Michele | Lately though I've been in love with myself and I've become my own best friend. | 102 |
| Ethel Barrymore | The best time to make friends is before you need them. | 102 |
| Joe Montana | My mother and father, Joe and Theresa Montana brought me along and taught me to never quit, and to strive to be the best. | 102 |
| Leslie Charteris | Others, amounting to four novels and a mess of short stories which I did not think worth preserving, I have done my best to eliminate from the record by refusing all requests for permission to reprint them, and I hope I have done a good job of making them hard to unearth. | 102 |
| Mark Burnett | The best person to get something done is a busy person. | 102 |
| Michael Moriarty | Life is best when you are in love. | 102 |
| Red Auerbach | Just do what you do best. | 102 |
| Sam Ewing | Success has a simple formula: do your best, and people may like it. | 102 |
| Dean Acheson | The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time. | 102 |
| Jamie Cullum | I worship pianos like they are prize diamonds, and I never willfully do damage to them. But I grew up playing guitars, and you treat a guitar like a best friend or a little brother or a lover you have a tempestuous relationship with. | 102 |
| Lady Randolph Churchill | Life is not always not always what one wants it to be., but to make the best of it as it is the only way of being happy. | 102 |
| Sarah Parish | Living with fear stops us taking risks, and if you don't go out on the branch, you're never going to get the best fruit. | 102 |
| Summer Altice | If you can remain true to the people who know you the best and not be sidetracked by the flashing lights and glimmering of the cameras, it's like, just being down-to-earth and just kind of staying real. | 102 |
| Thomas Brooks | The best way to do ourselves good is to be doing good to others; the best way to gather is to scatter. | 102 |
| Chris Froome | In sport you always think the strongest guy should be going for it and getting the best results. The thing is, cycling also has a very important team aspect, which I don't think that a lot of people fully grasp. | 102 |
| Jose Carreras | I am extraordinarily lucky, I was born in a family of strong moral values, and in my life I was able to do what I liked best: debuts, great theatres, but above all, inner and deep satisfaction. | 102 |
| Rainer Werner Fassbinder | The best thing I can think of would be to create a union between something as beautiful and powerful and wonderful as Hollywood films and a criticism of the status quo. That's my dream, to make such a German film. | 102 |
| Robert Hall | In matters of conscience, first thoughts are best. In matters of prudence, last thoughts are best. | 102 |
| Jodi Rell | The best math lesson we can teach college students this year is to subtract a tuition increase and benefit from the dividends of higher education. | 102 |
| Romy Schneider | Memories are the best things in life, I think. | 102 |
| Saul Steinberg | The artist is an educator of artists of the future who are able to understand and in the process of understanding perform unexpected - the best - evolutions. | 102 |
| Ann-Margret | I've always tried to do my very best, and I want to be the very best age, whatever age I am. | 102 |
| Mark Z. Jacobson | If our nation wants to reduce global warming, air pollution and energy instability, we should invest only in the best energy options. Nuclear energy isn't one of them. | 102 |
| John Selden | Old friends are best. | 102 |
| Mario Teguh | Lead yourself whenever your boss' leadership deteriorates. When your boss doesn't praise what you do, praise yourself. When your boss doesn't make you big, make yourself big. Remember, if you have done your best, failure does not count. | 102 |
| J. Irwin Miller | The calling of the humanities is to make us truly human in the best sense of the word. | 102 |

| Audrey Hepburn | The best thing to hold onto in life is each other. | 103 |
| Carl Jung | Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people. | 103 |
| Clint Eastwood | I just think it is important that you realize, that you're the best in the world. Whether you are a Democrat or Republican or whether you're libertarian or whatever, you are the best. And we should not ever forget that. And when somebody does not do the job, we got to let them go. | 103 |
| Deepak Chopra | If you want to do really important things in life and big things in life, you can't do anything by yourself. And your best teams are your friends and your siblings. | 103 |
| e. e. cummings | To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. | 103 |
| Elon Musk | I think it's very important to have a feedback loop, where you're constantly thinking about what you've done and how you could be doing it better. I think that's the single best piece of advice: constantly think about how you could be doing things better and questioning yourself. | 103 |
| Francis Bacon | Age appears to be best in four things; old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read. | 103 |
| Lou Holtz | I follow three rules: Do the right thing, do the best you can, and always show people you care. | 103 |
| Richard M. Nixon | Remember, always give your best. Never get discouraged. Never be petty. Always remember, others may hate you. But those who hate you don't win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself. | 103 |
| Will Rogers | Do the best you can, and don't take life too serious. | 103 |
| B. F. Skinner | 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. | 103 |
| J. Robert Oppenheimer | The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears it is true. | 103 |
| Jay-Z | It was a weird mix of emotions. One day, your best friend could be killed. The day before, you could be celebrating him getting a brand-new bike. | 103 |
| Orson Welles | The best thing commercially, which is the worst artistically, by and large, is the most successful. | 103 |
| W. Edwards Deming | It is not enough to do your best; you must know what to do, and then do your best. | 103 |
| William Osler | Soap and water and common sense are the best disinfectants. | 103 |
| William Wordsworth | That best portion of a man's life, his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love. | 103 |
| Agatha Christie | The best time to plan a book is while you're doing the dishes. | 103 |
| Aziz Ansari | I'm always down to try a new burger, but Shake Shack is still my top. What makes them so special is for the bread they use Martin's potato rolls which is just the best hamburger buns ever. | 103 |
| Ban Ki-moon | Climate change is destroying our path to sustainability. Ours is a world of looming challenges and increasingly limited resources. Sustainable development offers the best chance to adjust our course. | 103 |
| Benjamin Spock | The more people have studied different methods of bringing up children the more they have come to the conclusion that what good mothers and fathers instinctively feel like doing for their babies is the best after all. | 103 |
| Bette Davis | The best time I ever had with Joan Crawford was when I pushed her down the stairs in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? | 103 |
| Big Sean | Being in the Midwest, you get the best of all worlds and add your own flavor to it. | 103 |
| Billy Sunday | Home is the place we love best and grumble the most. | 103 |
| Bryant H. McGill | Courtesy is a silver lining around the dark clouds of civilization; it is the best part of refinement and in many ways, an art of heroic beauty in the vast gallery of man's cruelty and baseness. | 103 |
| Carl Hiaasen | You can do the best research and be making the strongest intellectual argument, but if readers don't get past the third paragraph you've wasted your energy and valuable ink. | 103 |
| Charles Eames | Design is a plan for arranging elements in such a way as best to accomplish a particular purpose. | 103 |
| Derek Jeter | Surround yourself with good people. People who are going to be honest with you and look out for your best interests. | 103 |
| Diane Ackerman | Love is the best school, but the tuition is high and the homework can be painful. | 103 |
| Eliot Spitzer | Our criminal justice system is fallible. We know it, even though we don't like to admit it. It is fallible despite the best efforts of most within it to do justice. And this fallibility is, at the end of the day, the most compelling, persuasive, and winning argument against a death penalty. | 103 |
| Floyd Mayweather, Jr. | I am the best. There is nobody better than me. | 103 |
| Frank Crane | 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. | 103 |
| Frank Stella | No art is any good unless you can feel how it's put together. By and large it's the eye, the hand and if it's any good, you feel the body. Most of the best stuff seems to be a complete gesture, the totality of the artist's body; you can really lean on it. | 103 |
| Fred Rogers | Knowing that we can be loved exactly as we are gives us all the best opportunity for growing into the healthiest of people. | 103 |
| George Saunders | The best thing that ever happened to me is that nothing happened in writing. I ended up working for engineering companies, and that's where I found my material, in the everyday struggle between capitalism and grace. Being broke and tired, you don't come home your best self. | 103 |
| Henry J. Kaiser | Having an aim is the key to achieving your best. | 103 |
| Henry Van Dyke | Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best. | 103 |
| Hunter Hayes | I'm from Louisiana, and that's where I got my start, in Cajun music. There's a huge music scene down there centered around our culture. Those are people that are not making music for a living. They are making music for the fun of it. And I think that's the best way I could have been introduced to music. | 103 |
| Ingrid Newkirk | Perhaps measuring animal intelligence by comparing it to human intelligence isn't the best litmus test. | 103 |
| Jerry Rice | I think the thing about that was I was always willing to work; I was not the fastest or biggest player but I was determined to be the best football player I could be on the football field and I think I was able to accomplish that through hard work. | 103 |
| John Cleese | He who laughs most, learns best. | 103 |
| Karen Salmansohn | The best things in life are often waiting for you at the exit ramp of your comfort zone. | 103 |
| Katharine Whitehorn | Find out what you like doing best and get someone to pay you for it. | 103 |
| Kristin Armstrong | The best thing to do when you find yourself in a hurting or vulnerable place is to surround yourself with the strongest, finest, most positive people you know. | 103 |
| Larry Ellison | I wish HP nothing but the best. I think HP is an icon. Those of us who had their careers in the Valley think of Dave Packard and Bill Hewlett as role models. We would love to be half as good as they were. | 103 |
| Laurence J. Peter | The best intelligence test is what we do with our leisure. | 103 |
| Linus Pauling | The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas. | 103 |
| Marlee Matlin | I have made the choices that work best for me. I know I cannot please everyone, and that's fine. | 103 |
| Michael Moore | Openness, transparency - these are among the few weapons the citizenry has to protect itself from the powerful and the corrupt... and that is the best thing that WikiLeaks has done. | 103 |
| Mike Birbiglia | I drank the Kool-Aid of being a network star. Once it didn't happen, I realized it wasn't the best version of my comedy. | 103 |
| Mitt Romney | Our worldly successes cannot be guaranteed, but our ability to achieve spiritual success is entirely up to us, thanks to the grace of God. The best advice I know is to give is to give those worldly things your best but never your all - reserve the ultimate hope for the only one who can grant it. | 103 |
| Muhammad Ali Jinnah | Expect the best, Prepare for the worst. | 103 |
| Norm MacDonald | I'm happy doing stand-up, but I'll probably do a television show eventually. If not, I'll delve into this Internet world and decide best how to harness it. What I like best about it is the independent movie style and the ability to just be completely reckless within that world. I like that a lot. I just have to acquaint myself with technology. | 103 |
| Orlando Aloysius Battista | The best inheritance a parent can give his children is a few minutes of his time each day. | 103 |
| Phil Knight | We wanted Nike to be the world's best sports and fitness company. Once you say that, you have a focus. You don't end up making wing tips or sponsoring the next Rolling Stones world tour. | 103 |
| Ralph Nader | Your best teacher is your last mistake. | 103 |
| Robert Browning | Autumn wins you best by this its mute appeal to sympathy for its decay. | 103 |
| Robert Griffin III | You don't have to go out there and fit the mold of what a quarterback is supposed to be. Make your own mold and do the best at each role. If you can run with the best and throw with the best, you can be the best quarterback in your own version of the position. | 103 |
| Roger Federer | You always want to win. That is why you play tennis, because you love the sport and try to be the best you can at it. | 103 |
| Russell Means | I had often wondered how to best decolonize my people... It must be done one human being at a time. Without that kind of help, Western society does not allow people to come to terms with their feelings. With honesty and therapy, my people can be made whole again. | 103 |
| Salman Khan | The best time to release a film is on a festive date like Divali or Eid, or at a time when there are no big films three to four weeks before or after. | 103 |
| Serj Tankian | The best way to do that is to pick up a new instrument or an instrument that you don't typically write on and see where it takes you. Whether it's using an acoustic guitar, or piano, or electronics as tools, all of these lead to creating different types of songs and I used all of these methods for this record. | 103 |
| Stanley Kubrick | Perhaps it sounds ridiculous, but the best thing that young filmmakers should do is to get hold of a camera and some film and make a movie of any kind at all. | 103 |
| Stephen Jay Gould | The most erroneous stories are those we think we know best - and therefore never scrutinize or question. | 103 |
| T.I. | Nobody is gonna love you like you. You're gonna be your best salesman. | 103 |
| Tullian Tchividjian | Contrary to popular assumptions, the Bible is not a record of the blessed good, but rather the blessed bad. That's not a typo. The Bible is a record of the blessed bad. The Bible is not a witness to the best people making it up to God; it's a witness to God making it down to the worst people. | 103 |
| Ville Valo | Music's always been really cathartic. It's the best drug for me to get away from the everyday pressures just for a second via a good song. | 103 |
| Wayne Rooney | Perfect partners don't exist. Perfect conditions exist for a limited time in which partnerships express themselves best. | 103 |
| William Lyon Mackenzie King | Temperance is essential, if the services of men and women are to be employed to the best and most useful effect according, to the physical capacity and ability of each. Nothing less will assure a total effort. | 103 |
| Wole Soyinka | And I believe that the best learning process of any kind of craft is just to look at the work of others. | 103 |
| Alison Gopnik | We have lots of evidence that putting investments in early childhood education, even evidence from very hard-nosed economists, is one of the very best investments that the society can possibly make. And yet we still don't have public support for things like preschools. | 103 |
| Andrew Weil | It is more important to eat some carbohydrates at breakfast, because the brain needs fuel right away, and carbohydrate is the best source. | 103 |
| Ashwin Sanghi | Writing is a intensely personal activity. I can pen down my best thoughts when I'm alone. But when one is elevated into the stature of an author, you have to think about your books in terms of their business angle. | 103 |
| Barbara Corcoran | The best mistake I ever made was believing that I was stupid. It was a childhood thing, but it played out big-time as an adult. It scorned me the rest of my life - in a good way. | 103 |
| Cory Monteith | At some point, you realize your parents are human. They make the best decisions they can with the options available to them. | 103 |
| Damian Marley | The whole world is set up so that for places like Switzerland to exist, that are crime-free and with the best care for everybody, you have to have places like Sudan, or Jamaica. But really, there's enough to share, when you check it. It's not that complicated, really. It's probably less thinking and more feeling that's required. | 103 |
| David Brin | Change is the principal feature of our age and literature should explore how people deal with it. The best science fiction does that, head-on. | 103 |
| Dennis Quaid | I always want to find the best burger in town. | 103 |
| Emma Roberts | I love dressing up. It's the best part of being a girl, I think. | 103 |
| Eric Butterworth | One of the best things to do sometimes is simply to be. | 103 |
| Frank Iero | The best music happens when you have a personal connection to it. That same philosophy can extend to the instrument you hold in your hands: if a guitar means something special, you're bound to do great things with it. | 103 |
| Henry Selick | Every kid has a toy that they believe is their best friend, that they believe communicates with them, and they imagine it being alive, their toy horse or car or whatever it is. Stop-motion is the only medium where we literally can make a toy come to life, an actual object. | 103 |
| James Cash Penney | The best teamwork comes from men who are working independently toward one goal in unison. | 103 |
| Joan Collins | Every woman should wear make-up. It takes years off. I'm wearing lots of false eyelashes today, and to me, lipstick is the best cosmetic that exists. | 103 |
| John Frusciante | I find that the best way to do things is to constantly move forward and to never doubt anything and keep moving forward, if you make a mistake say you made a mistake. | 103 |
| Jonathan Sacks | Religion creates community, community creates altruism and altruism turns us away from self and towards the common good... There is something about the tenor of relationships within a religious community that makes it the best tutorial in citizenship and good neighborliness. | 103 |
| Juliette Gordon Low | Scouting rises within you and inspires you to put forth your best. | 103 |
| Larry Hagman | It's my firm intention to whop cancer into submission and I truly believe I've given myself the best start possible by radically overhauling my diet and by staying true to my motto, which is: Don't worry, be happy, feel good. The first thing I did when I was diagnosed was to turn vegan. | 103 |
| Paul Tsongas | You are part of that horrid expression, the best and the brightest. It can be a terrible burden if you let it be, but it is the great challenge of your time. And being a warrior in that challenge should be wondrous. | 103 |
| Rita Mae Brown | The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay, then it's you. | 103 |
| Susan Orlean | One of the very best reasons for having children is to be reminded of the incomparable joys of a snow day. | 103 |
| Tom Allen | While I relish our warm months, winter forms our character and brings out our best. | 103 |
| Abraham Verghese | I still find the best way to understand a hospitalized patient whose care I am taking over is not by staring at the computer screen but by going to see the patient; it's only at the bedside that I can figure out what is important. | 103 |
| Christian Kane | Kane is a band I formed with my best friend Steve Carlson. We just got together and started playing guitar. He was playing some old school rock and roll, and we got together and thought, 'Hey, let's take this on the road.' | 103 |
| Gary Ackerman | You can compromise between good, better, and best, and you can compromise between bad and worse and terrible. But you can't compromise between good and evil. And now people look at the other side as a completely different kind of animal and say, 'They are taking the country down the road to purgatory.' It's complete intolerance. | 103 |
| Jane Smiley | With horses, familiarity breeds comfort. If you haven't been around horses for a while (or ever), the best thing to do is to go to the racetrack, a horse show, a rodeo, or some other horsey activity, and watch the horses. Familiarize yourself with the way they move and behave themselves. | 103 |
| Jeff Goodell | You gotta love Rick Perry's swagger. The Texas Governor is out there in the Iowa cornfields, unabashedly going to toe-to-toe with President Obama, doing his best to instantly cast himself as the big dog in the Republican pack. | 103 |
| Maria Callas | That is the difference between good teachers and great teachers: good teachers make the best of a pupil's means; great teachers foresee a pupil's ends. | 103 |
| Rosamund Pike | Nothing can teach you what it's like to work on a film set, and the best education there can be for an actor is to walk up the street and observe human nature. | 103 |
| Scott Ian | I think the best riffs and the best songs come when you're jamming and having a good time. | 103 |
| Thomas Tusser | Seek home for rest, for home is best. | 103 |
| Carrie Ann Inaba | One of the best gifts you can give to an animal is a donation of a blanket to your local animal shelter during the winter months. | 103 |
| John Elway | It's all about putting the best team together - not just in the front office but the players on the field. | 103 |
| Julian Bond | I tell young people to prepare themselves as best they can for a world that grows more challenging every day-get the best education they can, and couple that education with real-life experience in social justice work. | 103 |
| Stephenie Meyer | Being Mormon is a big part of who I am, and I try very hard to live the right way, but I don't know that I'm an example. I hate to say, 'Yes, look at me. I'm a good example of being Mormon.' I want to be the best person I can be, so in that aspect, maybe I'm a good example. | 103 |
| Allan McNish | My motto is to do everything absolutely flat out and to the best of your ability. | 103 |
| Dave Navarro | For me, it doesn't matter how difficult something is, it doesn't matter how impressive it is, it's what sounds best that really counts. | 103 |
| David Seabury | Enthusiasm is the best protection in any situation. Wholeheartedness is contagious. Give yourself, if you wish to get others. | 103 |
| Marguerite Duras | The best way to fill time is to waste it. | 103 |

| Theodore Roosevelt | In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing. | 104 |
| Anne Frank | The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be. | 104 |
| Ayn Rand | The ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the rungs of opportunity. | 104 |
| Charles Darwin | A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth. | 104 |
| Frida Kahlo | I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best. | 104 |
| George S. Patton | Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood. | 104 |
| George Santayana | Do not have evil-doers for friends, do not have low people for friends: have virtuous people for friends, have for friends the best of men. | 104 |
| Robert E. Lee | The trite saying that honesty is the best policy has met with the just criticism that honesty is not policy. The real honest man is honest from conviction of what is right, not from policy. | 104 |
| William Butler Yeats | People who lean on logic and philosophy and rational exposition end by starving the best part of the mind. | 104 |
| A. P. J. Abdul Kalam | Look at the sky. We are not alone. The whole universe is friendly to us and conspires only to give the best to those who dream and work. | 104 |
| B. F. Skinner | A person who has been punished is not less inclined to behave in a given way; at best, he learns how to avoid punishment. | 104 |

| Jean Piaget | It is with children that we have the best chance of studying the development of logical knowledge, mathematical knowledge, physical knowledge, and so forth. | 104 |
| Abu Bakr | I have been given the authority over you, and I am not the best of you. If I do well, help me; and if I do wrong, set me right. Sincere regard for truth. | 104 |
| Amy Grant | I think our culture encourages all of us to always put our best foot forward. I think it's a good thing. I think it's nice to rise to the occasion, to be kind and considerate, and have self control. | 104 |
| Amy Jo Martin | Confidence and empowerment are cousins in my opinion. Empowerment comes from within and typically it's stemmed and fostered by self-assurance. To feel empowered is to feel free and that's when people do their best work. You can't fake confidence or empowerment. | 104 |
| Ashton Kutcher | Your best T-shirt should be like your bed; it just feels like you are home when you are in it. | 104 |
| Calvin Klein | The best thing is to look natural, but it takes makeup to look natural. | 104 |
| Colonel Sanders | I've only had two rules: Do all you can and do it the best you can. It's the only way you ever get that feeling of accomplishing something. | 104 |
| Cristiano Ronaldo | Lots of young players have triumphed at United, so why can't it happen to me? I'm not worried I'm young - it's an incentive to do the best I can. | 104 |
| Demi Lovato | Where I am today... I still have my ups and downs, but I take it one day at a time and I just hope that I can be the best that I can possibly be, not only for myself, but also young people that are out there today that need someone to look up to. | 104 |
| Harold Wilson | I'm at my best in a messy, middle-of-the-road muddle. | 104 |
| Harvey Mackay | Ethical decisions ensure that everyone's best interests are protected. When in doubt, don't. | 104 |
| Henry J. Kaiser | Live daringly, boldly, fearlessly. Taste the relish to be found in competition - in having put forth the best within you. | 104 |
| Joan of Arc | Get up tomorrow early in the morning, and earlier than you did today, and do the best that you can. Always stay near me, for tomorrow I will have much to do and more than I ever had, and tomorrow blood will leave my body above the breast. | 104 |
| Joe DiMaggio | There is always some kid who may be seeing me for the first time. I owe him my best. | 104 |
| Kate Middleton | I have learned that delivering the best possible palliative care to children is vital, providing children and their families with a place of support, care and enhancement at a time of great need is simply life-changing. | 104 |
| Katherine Jenkins | I always want to give my best and do the best I can. I know when I have sung my best and when I haven't. There can be stresses and hassles with time travel and press attention. I just have to adapt and find a way of dealing with it. | 104 |
| Kevin Durant | I've got a long way to go to being the ultimate best, but I think my time is now. And I'm starting to enter my prime. | 104 |
| Michael Porter | The best CEOs I know are teachers, and at the core of what they teach is strategy. | 104 |
| Orison Swett Marden | There is only one thing for us to do, and that is to do our level best right where we are every day of our lives; To use our best judgment, and then to trust the rest to that Power which holds the forces of the universe in his hands. | 104 |
| Paramahansa Yogananda | The season of failure is the best time for sowing the seeds of success. | 104 |
| Penn Jillette | I don't believe the majority always knows what's best for everyone. | 104 |
| Rafael Nadal | It's important to have people around you with enough confidence to say if you are not acting in a good way. Normally, when you are at the top, people say everything is fantastic. Probably in that moment it is what you want to hear, but it's best to be reminded how to act properly. | 104 |
| Robert Schumann | Nature best teaches how to pray, and how to reverence all the gifts the Almighty has given us. She is like a vast outspread handkerchief, embroidered with God's eternal name, on which we may dry alike our tears of sorrow and of joy; she turns weeping into ecstasy, and fills our hearts with speechless, quiet reverence and resignation. | 104 |
| Slavoj Zizek | I - and I still consider myself, I'm sorry to tell you, a Marxist and a Communist, but I couldn't help noticing how all the best Marxist analyses are always analyses of a failure. | 104 |
| Steve Nash | I don't care what other people say. I fight every day to be the best player I can. | 104 |
| Tim Cook | We're very simple people at Apple. We focus on making the world's best products and enriching people's lives. | 104 |
| Tom Hanks | As long as you as an individual... can convince yourself that in order to move forward as best you can you have to be optimistic, you can be described as 'one of the faithful,' one of those people who can say, 'Well, look, something's going to happen! Let's just keep trying. Let's not give up. | 104 |
| Twyla Tharp | Creativity is a habit, and the best creativity is the result of good work habits. | 104 |
| Yoko Ono | Nobody's life is a bed of roses. We all have crosses to bear, and we all just do our best. I would never claim to have the worst situation. There are many widows, and many people dying of AIDS, many people killed in Lebanon, people starving all over the planet. So we have to count our lucky stars. | 104 |
| Amber Heard | My very best friend died in a car accident when I was 16 years old. That was the hardest blow emotionally that I have ever had to endure. Suddenly, you realize tomorrow might not come. Now I live by the motto, 'Today is what I have.' | 104 |
| Amy Chua | I am definitely a Type A personality, always rushing around, trying to do too much, not good at just lying on the beach. But I'm so thankful for everything I have: wonderfully supportive parents and sisters, the best husband in the world, terrific students I love teaching and hanging out with, and above all, my two amazing daughters. | 104 |
| Andrew Weil | The best way to detoxify is to stop putting toxic things into the body and depend upon it's own mechanisms. | 104 |
| Bjorn Lomborg | There is no question that global warming will have a significant impact on already existing problems such as malaria, malnutrition, and water shortages. But this doesn't mean the best way to solve them is to cut carbon emissions. | 104 |
| Chloe Sevigny | I'm definitely a lash girl. I feel they are my best feature. I have tried lots of mascaras. I was drawn to Lancome Doll Lashes recently. Not only because of the name, but it smells like roses! I usually add a few coats of it for a night out. | 104 |
| Daphne Guinness | I can't understand it when people are closed-minded. I mean, boy, have I made mistakes and been very wrong. I can't tell you the amounts of times I've been let down, but I still try to see the best in people. | 104 |
| Dylan Lauren | Candy is childhood, the best and bright moments you wish could have lasted forever. | 104 |
| E. Joseph Cossman | The best way to remember your wife's birthday is to forget it once. | 104 |

| John Malkovich | Fashion is chaotic, and it can be an aggravation, too, but it is at its best when it allows you to express yourself. | 104 |
| Joyce Brothers | The best proof of love is trust. | 104 |
| Joyce Carol Oates | For some reason, voters can be brainwashed, and they vote sometimes against their own best interests, let alone voting against the interests of people who need them, like people who are disenfranchised and people who are poor and so forth. | 104 |
| Mandy Moore | The unknown used to be really scary, just that fear of, 'What's next? What if I'm not prepared?' I just don't feel that way anymore. I feel like the best is yet to come. | 104 |
| Jenni Rivera | Perhaps trying to move away from my problems and focus on the positive is the best I can do. | 104 |
| Jodi Picoult | As an American I wanted to explore... why are we the only first world country that still has capital punishment? Is it because we're too afraid to really examine the system, or is it because we really truly believe that this is the best way to deter future crime? | 104 |
| Louise Brown | Much of my reading time over the last decade and a half has been spent reading aloud to my children. Those children's bedtime rituals of supper, bath, stories, and sleep have been a staple of my life and some of the best, most special times I can remember. | 104 |
| Marcus Buckingham | The best way to find out whether you're on the right path? Stop looking at the path. | 104 |
| Maria Callas | Good teachers make the best of a pupil's means; great teachers foresee a pupil's ends. | 104 |
| Mary Ellen Mark | There are some people who become best friends with everyone they photograph. There are people that I really like and admire and respect, but in a way I think it's better to keep a distance. I think you get better pictures of people that you don't know very well. | 104 |
| Bill Simmons | There's a tipping point that happens with soccer in which you just kinda get it. I was drawn to it because the best soccer teams play similarly to my favorite basketball teams - like the eighties Lakers or eighties Celtics - teams that emphasized teamwork over individualism and relied on passing as their biggest ongoing edge. | 104 |
| Charles Kingsley | Being forced to work, and forced to do your best, will breed in you temperance and self-control, diligence and strength of will, cheerfulness and content, and a hundred virtues which the idle will never know. | 104 |
| Jessica Valenti | Hearing the Beastie Boys speak out against sexism made me feel like if these men who had once sung about getting girls to 'do the laundry' and 'clean up my room' could understand, maybe the rest of the world would follow suit. It made me hopeful in the best way. | 104 |
| James Anthony Froude | Instruction does not prevent wasted time or mistakes; and mistakes themselves are often the best teachers of all. | 104 |
| Robert Bresson | When you do not know what you are doing and what you are doing is the best - that is inspiration. | 104 |
| Althea Gibson | In sports, you simply aren't considered a real champion until you have defended your title successfully. Winning it once can be a fluke; winning it twice proves you are the best. | 104 |
| Oscar Wilde | I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best. | 105 |
| Steve Jobs | No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. | 105 |
| Francis Bacon | The best part of beauty is that which no picture can express. | 105 |
| Franz Kafka | My 'fear' is my substance, and probably the best part of me. | 105 |
| Kurt Cobain | There's nothing better than having a baby. I've always loved children. I used to work summers at the YMCA and be in charge of, like, 30 preschool kids. I knew that when I had a child, I'd be overwhelmed, and it's true... I can't tell you how much my attitude has changed since we've got Frances. Holding my baby is the best drug in the world. | 105 |
| Kurt Vonnegut | About astrology and palmistry: they are good because they make people vivid and full of possibilities. They are communism at its best. Everybody has a birthday and almost everybody has a palm. | 105 |
| Phil McGraw | We all have a social mask, right? We put it on, we go out, put our best foot forward, our best image. But behind that social mask is a personal truth, what we really, really believe about who we are and what we're capable of. | 105 |
| Benito Mussolini | The best blood will at some time get into a fool or a mosquito. | 105 |
| Jeff Bezos | The best customer service is if the customer doesn't need to call you, doesn't need to talk to you. It just works. | 105 |
| William Osler | No human being is constituted to know the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth; and even the best of men must be content with fragments, with partial glimpses, never the full fruition. | 105 |
| Arsene Wenger | I believe one of the best things about managing people is that we can influence lives in a positive way. That's basically what a manager is about. When I can do that, I am very happy. | 105 |
| B. C. Forbes | The man who has done his level best... is a success, even though the world may write him down a failure. | 105 |
| Bob Iger | It's in our best interest to put some of the old rules aside and create new ones and follow the consumer - what the consumer wants and where the consumer wants to go. | 105 |
| Carlos Ghosn | I think we're going to have some difficulty in front of us. I have absolutely no doubt the next three, four years Europe are going to be at best stagnation. We are preparing for tough times. | 105 |
| Channing Tatum | Truthfully, this is how I approach my workout: I want to be the best athlete I can possibly be. If I can out-perform some of the better athletes then I'm happy. When I look at the NFL or the NBA, these guys look how I want to look - it's useable, functional muscle. | 105 |
| Chris Pratt | Being in good physical shape is the best way to combat depression. You just have endorphins running around your body. It is the best anti-depressive that there is. | 105 |
| Dee Hock | Money motivates neither the best people, nor the best in people. It can move the body and influence the mind, but it cannot touch the heart or move the spirit; that is reserved for belief, principle, and morality. | 105 |
| Don Miguel Ruiz | Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. | 105 |
| Eric Cantona | My best moment? I have a lot of good moments but the one I prefer is when I kicked the hooligan. | 105 |
| Helen Hunt Jackson | By all these lovely tokens September days are here, With summer's best of weather And autumn's best of cheer. | 105 |
| Howard Gardner | The countries who do the best in international comparisons, whether it's Finland or Japan, Denmark or Singapore, do well because they have professional teachers who are respected, and they also have family and community which support learning. | 105 |
| Jean Cocteau | I have lost my seven best friends, which is to say God has had mercy on me seven times without realizing it. He lent a friendship, took it from me, sent me another. | 105 |
| Joe DiMaggio | A person always doing his or her best becomes a natural leader, just by example. | 105 |
| Larry Bird | The best player I ever played with was Dennis Johnson. | 105 |
| Leonardo DiCaprio | The best thing about acting is that I get to lose myself in another character and actually get paid for it... It's a great outlet. I'm not really sure who I am - it seems I change every day. | 105 |
| Marquis de Lafayette | Charleston is one of the best built, handsomest, and most agreeable cities that I have ever seen. | 105 |
| Mary Kay Ash | Central banks don't have divine wisdom. They try to do the best analysis they can and must be prepared to stand or fall by the quality of that analysis. | 105 |
| Maxwell Maltz | Remember you will not always win. Some days, the most resourceful individual will taste defeat. But there is, in this case, always tomorrow - after you have done your best to achieve success today. | 105 |
| Michael Porter | I teach in the medical school, the School of Public Health, the Kennedy School of Government, and the Business School. And it's the best perch... because most of my work crosses boundaries. | 105 |
| Orison Swett Marden | Do not waste time dreaming of great faraway opportunities; do the best you can where you are. Open your petals of power and beauty and fling out the fragrance of your life in the place that has been assigned to you. | 105 |
| River Phoenix | Rich kids gave us their old clothes. They were the best clothes we ever had. We were these very pure, naive, poor children. The rich kids called us a lot of names but it never bothered us because we didn't know what the words meant. | 105 |
| Robert Griffin III | It's not about talent once you get to the NFL because everyone's got it. It's about being willing to go that extra mile to be the best and that's something that I've always done. | 105 |
| Robin S. Sharma | If you really want to be world class - to be the best you can be - it comes down to preparation and practice. | 105 |
| Ron Paul | I am just absolutely convinced that the best formula for giving us peace and preserving the American way of life is freedom, limited government, and minding our own business overseas. | 105 |
| Roger Staubach | In any team sport, the best teams have consistency and chemistry. | 105 |
| Rowan Atkinson | Mr. Bean is at his best when he is not using words, but I am equally at home in both verbal and nonverbal expression. | 105 |
| Samuel Smiles | Men must necessarily be the active agents of their own well-being and well-doing they themselves must in the very nature of things be their own best helpers. | 105 |
| Samuel Taylor Coleridge | He is the best physician who is the most ingenious inspirer of hope. | 105 |
| Seth Rogen | I don't make the best movies in the world, but at times, I do feel like I'm adding something to the cinematic community. | 105 |
| Susan Cain | In a way, education by its nature favours the extrovert because you are taking kids and putting them into a big classroom, which is automatically going to be a high-stimulation environment. Probably the best way of teaching in general is one on one, but that's not something everyone can afford. | 105 |
| Tim Tebow | I'm thankful for the ability to share my faith in a lot of different places. It's something that I take as a responsibility and an obligation to handle as best as I can. | 105 |
| Viggo Mortensen | One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was from a horse master. He told me to go slow to go fast. I think that applies to everything in life. We live as though there aren't enough hours in the day but if we do each thing calmly and carefully we will get it done quicker and with much less stress. | 105 |
| Wentworth Miller | I'm a very competitive person, but competitive with myself. I want to be the best that I can be, and if that means that I'm eventually better than everyone else, then so be it. But I don't go around comparing and contrasting myself with other actors if I can help it. It's also, I think, the key to my success. | 105 |
| William Bernbach | Word of mouth is the best medium of all. | 105 |
| Amy Adams | I tend to be really pragmatic, but ultimately tend to be attracted to people who pull me into more spontaneity. I've really learned that, through surrender, the best experiences of my life have happened. | 105 |
| James Stewart | It was amazing that a play that seems dated in this world... A man whose best friend is a six-foot white rabbit... But it caught on, especially with young people - they surprised me most of all. | 105 |
| Jason Mraz | I don't think love is a tricky issue at all. Love is best understood when we share: Share time, energy, food, resources, insights, information, whatever. It's usually thought of as something that exists between two people, but that's just because it's easier to see and feel in the space between them. Each person is sharing a lot with the other. | 105 |
| Jerry Saltz | All of Koons's best art - the encased vacuum cleaners, the stainless-steel Rabbit (the late-twentieth century's signature work of Simulationist sculpture), the amazing gleaming Balloon Dog, and the cast-iron re-creation of a Civil War mortar exhibited last month at the Armory - has simultaneously flaunted extreme realism, idealism, and fantasy. | 105 |
| Jessie J | I think the best way to have confidence is not to allow everyone else's insecurities to be your own. | 105 |
| Matisyahu | I always knew I was different and that people had opinions about me. I guess I learned as best as I can to shield out a lot and live my life from within. | 105 |
| Srikumar Rao | Acceptance does not mean that you placidly acquiesce to the myriad injustices that are all around you. In fact, that you are incensed about these injustices is the very reason you need to try your level best to 'right' these 'wrongs.' | 105 |
| Aristotle | My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake. | 106 |
| Jennie Finch | Dad was the pitching coach, while Mom was the emotional supporter. Her unconditional love was great, and she wanted what was best for me. | 106 |
| Martin Luther King, Jr. | We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies. | 106 |
| Theodore Roosevelt | Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing. | 106 |
| Walt Disney | All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me... You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you. | 106 |
| Bernie Sanders | Difficult times often bring out the best in people. | 106 |
| Charles Spurgeon | A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble. | 106 |
| David Bowie | I believe that I often bring out the best in somebody's talents. | 106 |
| Eminem | Personally, I just think rap music is the best thing out there, period. If you look at my deck in my car radio, you're always going to find a hip-hop tape; that's all I buy, that's all I live, that's all I listen to, that's all I love. | 106 |
| Frank Lloyd Wright | Mechanization best serves mediocrity. | 106 |
| Hippocrates | Walking is man's best medicine. | 106 |
| John C. Maxwell | Learn to say 'no' to the good so you can say 'yes' to the best. | 106 |
| John Wooden | Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out. | 106 |
| Thomas Paine | Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one. | 106 |
| Andrew Carnegie | Do not look for approval except for the consciousness of doing your best. | 106 |
| Aung San Suu Kyi | Since we live in this world, we have to do our best for this world. | 106 |
| Brene Brown | Many people think of perfectionism as striving to be your best, but it is not about self-improvement; it's about earning approval and acceptance. | 106 |
| James Joyce | The actions of men are the best interpreters of their thoughts. | 106 |
| Lionel Messi | Whether it's a friendly match, or for points, or a final, or any game - I play the same. I'm always trying to be my best, first for my team, for myself, for the fans, and to try and win. | 106 |
| Meister Eckhart | You may call God love, you may call God goodness. But the best name for God is compassion. | 106 |
| Ambrose Bierce | Prescription: A physician's guess at what will best prolong the situation with least harm to the patient. | 106 |
| Cat Stevens | The fact that the Prophet cared for every human being and tried his best to ensure their security in the hereafter must be the most telling of his compassionate and merciful characteristics. | 106 |
| Charles B. Rangel | Our immigration policy should be driven by what is in the best interest of this great country and the American people. Comprehensive immigration reform will strengthen U.S. security and boost economic growth. | 106 |
| Chuck D | I grew up as a sports fan, and I know that a hall of fame is very different than an award for being the best of the year. It's a nod to the longevity of our accomplishment. | 106 |
| Dan Gable | The 1st period is won by the best technician. The 2nd period is won by the kid in the best shape. The 3rd period is won by the kid with the biggest heart. | 106 |
| Donald Rumsfeld | Your performance depends on your people. Select the best, train them and back them. When errors occur, give sharper guidance. If errors persist or if the fit feels wrong, help them move on. The country cannot afford amateur hour in the White House. | 106 |
| E. O. Wilson | You are capable of more than you know. Choose a goal that seems right for you and strive to be the best, however hard the path. Aim high. Behave honorably. Prepare to be alone at times, and to endure failure. Persist! The world needs all you can give. | 106 |
| Geoff Mulgan | Understanding capitalism is in some ways simple. At its best, capitalism rewards creators, makers and providers: the people and firms that create valuable things for others, like imaginative technologies and good food, cars and drugs. | 106 |
| Harriet Beecher Stowe | It's a matter of taking the side of the weak against the strong, something the best people have always done. | 106 |
| Kid Rock | Surround yourself with good people. Whether they're the best or not, people are capable of learning if they've got good hearts and they're good souls. | 106 |
| Michael Moore | There's a gullible side to the American people. They can be easily misled. Religion is the best device used to mislead them. | 106 |
| P. G. Wodehouse | Memories are like mulligatawny soup in a cheap restaurant. It is best not to stir them. | 106 |
| Plutarch | The wildest colts make the best horses. | 106 |
| Ratan Tata | I may have hurt some people along the way, but I would like to be seen as somebody who has done his best to do the right thing for any situation and not compromised. | 106 |
| Robert Browning | Grow old with me! The best is yet to be. | 106 |
| Roger Federer | When you do something best in life, you don't really want to give that up - and for me it's tennis. | 106 |
| Ronaldinho | Football is a great love because I was born into a family of players and therefore born into football. I'm fortunate to have a style of play that a lot of people like. It's a privilege to be able to do what I like best and in my own way, but I'm fortunate that people like it, and that motivates me even more. | 106 |
| Stevie Ray Vaughan | I'm just doing the best I can now to keep this going... trying to grow up and remain young at the same time. | 106 |
| Thomas Huxley | Science is simply common sense at its best, that is, rigidly accurate in observation, and merciless to fallacy in logic. | 106 |
| Tony Dungy | We talked about some of our experiences, focusing, hanging together down the stretch, important games. It's not necessarily who has the most talent but what team sticks together and executes their fundamentals the best. | 106 |
| Walter Payton | If I'm going to get hit, why let the guy who's going to hit me get the easiest and best shot? I explode into the guy who's trying to tackle me. | 106 |
| William Makepeace Thackeray | To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose, the next best. | 106 |
| Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart | One must not make oneself cheap here - that is a cardinal point - or else one is done. Whoever is most impertinent has the best chance. | 106 |
| John James Audubon | But Hopes are Shy Birds flying at a great distance seldom reached by the best of Guns. | 106 |
| Kimora Lee Simmons | Women call me all the time and tell me, 'You inspired me to get out of a bad situation,' or 'You inspired me to take the reigns for myself and go and do this.' I try to tell people to live their best life, and do what you know you need to do for yourself and your family. You need to be supported. | 106 |
| George Allen, Sr. | Each of us has been put on earth with the ability to do something well. We cheat ourselves and the world if we don't use that ability as best we can. | 106 |
| Bernard Meltzer | Use those talents you have. You will make it. You will give joy to the world. Take this tip from nature: The woods would be a very silent place if no birds sang except those who sang best. | 106 |

| Justin Bieber | Canada's the best country in the world. | 107 |

| Rush Limbaugh | For the last five years, we have been presented with the idea that Barack Obama is superhuman. Barack Obama is unlike any of us or anyone else. And he isn't. In fact, he's much less achieved and much less accomplished than most who have gotten half as far as he has, and I think maybe what we saw was the best. | 107 |
| Sean Combs | I don't say it in a cocky way, but I take pride in being one of the best at doing what I do. | 107 |

| John Madden | If you win a Super Bowl before you're fired, you're a genius, and everyone listens to you. But a coach is just a guy whose best class in grammar school was recess and whose best class in high school was P.E. I never thought I was anything but a guy whose best class was P.E. | 108 |

| Niels Bohr | The best weapon of a dictatorship is secrecy, but the best weapon of a democracy should be the weapon of openness. | 112 |
| Rush Limbaugh | Canada has an immigration policy you might want to emulate. They want more skilled and educated immigrants. In fact, that's all they take.
