“No matter what you do, do your best at it. If your going to be a bum, be the best bum there is.”

“When you do not know what you are doing and what you are doing is the best -- that is inspiration.”

“No matter our talent, we all know in the midnight of our souls that 90 percent of what we do is less than our best.”

“And it is still true, no matter how old you are -- when you go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.”

“If the best is possible, than good is never enough and only do the best.”

“The best things are nearest: breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of God just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain common work as it comes certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things of life.”

“Love is an anchor -- it stops you from drifting away. Love is sticking up for your friends and family, or even your pets. Love is being brave and saying what you feel. Love is making music or playing tennis; it's doing what you want to do. Love is holding on and not letting go.”
