# Al Franken

You have to love your country like an adult loves somebody, not like a child loves its mommy.

Everybody is different. Everybody has different styles. Just do it the best way you know how. –Vince Carter

If you put all your strength and faith and vigor into a job and try to do the best you can, the money will come. –Lawrence Welk

The proper navy blue blazer can be single or double-breasted and looks best in a three-button style. The proper blazer requires side-vents. Italian versions can have no vent at all, but I find this a bit fast.

# Lea Salonga

I have a half-brother who is very, very, very gay, many cousins, best friends who are all members of the LGBT community, and for me to not say anything would be hypocritical. There is a lot of prejudice. People think it is abnormal. No, it’s just another normal.

# Von Miller

I’m at my best when people are depending on me. If it’s just on me and I don’t have nothing to do, I’m going to be lazy. On the football field, it’s every single day, every play, knowing that people are depending on me to make my play. That helps me elevate my game to another level.

# Jessica Savitch

Many senators have developed a canny sense of what will play best for the audience.

# Michael Pollan

We have food deserts in our cities. We know that the distance you live from a supplier of fresh produce is one of the best predictors of your health. And in the inner city, people don’t have grocery stores. So we have to figure out a way of getting supermarkets and farmers markets into the inner cities.

Design is a plan for arranging elements in such a way as best to accomplish a particular purpose.

# Tom Glazer

Participation, I think, or one of the best methods of educating.

# Simon Sinek

One of the best paradoxes of leadership is a leader’s need to be both stubborn and open-minded. A leader must insist on sticking to the vision and stay on course to the destination. But he must be open-minded during the process.

# John Cameron Mitchell

The best things happen in the dark.

# 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.

# Frank Miller

Sometimes the solitary voice can be the best one.

# Matthew Gray Gubler

My best advice to actors is if you love acting, do it every chance you get. Success does not mean success. All that matters is whether or not you’re doing your best to entertain. The way this business works is all about luck and timing.

# 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?

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.’ —

# Tiger Woods

I’m aware if I’m playing at my best I’m tough to beat. And I enjoy that.

# Marissa Mayer

With data collection, ‘The sooner the better’ is always the best answer.

What stop-motion does best is present real objects magically brought to life in a very imperfect situation; the hand of the artist is there, the electricity of someone touching, massaging and torturing themselves to get life out of an inanimate object.

# Alexander Pope

Party-spirit at best is but the madness of many for the gain of a few.

# Tim Allen

Dad needs to show an incredible amount of respect and humor and friendship toward his mate so the kids understand their parents are sexy, they’re fun, they do things together, they’re best friends. Kids learn by example. If I respect Mom, they’re going to respect Mom.

# John Osborne

In London, love and scandal are considered the best sweeteners of tea.

# Arnold Schwarzenegger

No matter the nationality, no matter the religion, no matter the ethnic background, America brings out the best in people.

# Emma Thompson

I do think that despite my best efforts to resist it, I am now a grown-up. It’s due to lots of very difficult decisions that you make over a long period of time – about motherhood, wifehood, and work, and all the things that one has to make decisions about.

# Eric Swalwell

Americans are at our best when we build bridges between us, not walls around us.

# Sylvia Earle

The best scientists and explorers have the attributes of kids! They ask question and have a sense of wonder. They have curiosity. ‘Who, what, where, why, when, and how!’ They never stop asking questions, and I never stop asking questions, just like a five year old.

# Kevin Mitnick

Then again, my case was all about the misappropriation of source code because I wanted to become the best hacker in the world and I enjoyed beating the security mechanisms.

# Henry David Thoreau

That government is best which governs least.

God gave you a brain. Do the best you can with it. And you don’t have to be Einstein, but Einstein was mentally tough. He believed what he believed. And he worked out things. And he argued with people who disagreed with him. But I’m sure he didn’t call everybody jerks.

# Joseph B. Wirthlin

We don’t have to be perfect today. We don’t have to be better than someone else. All we have to do is to be the very best we can.

# Jim Brown

There is no excuse for violence. There is never a justification for anyone to impose themselves on someone else. And it will always be incorrect when it comes to a man and a woman, regardless of what might have happened. You need to be man enough to take the blow. That is always the best way. Do not put your hands on a woman.

# Erykah Badu

I’m not trying to win an award for being the best vegetarian, just want to be healthy. Take a salt bath. Do things that my parents were never able to do. I’m blessed to do anything I want, so I decide to take the best care of my body and my family in the same way. Holistically. Vitally.

# Benjamin Franklin

Hunger is the best pickle.

# Sophia Bush

I was lucky. My family is wonderful. And it’s funny, because most of my best friends come from very large families. So it always felt as if I had lots of siblings, though in the end I had to leave them and go home. I kind of got the best of both worlds as a kid.

# Brad Pitt

The best moments can’t be preconceived. I’ve spent a lot of time in editing rooms, and a scene can be technically perfect, with perfect delivery and facial expression and timing, and you remember all your lines, and it is dead.

# Terry Pratchett

I think perhaps the most important problem is that we are trying to understand the fundamental workings of the universe via a language devised for telling one another when the best fruit is.

# Diane S. Sykes

The Court’s legitimacy arises from the source of its authority – which is, of course, the Constitution – and is best preserved by adhering to decision methods that neither expand nor contract but legitimize the power of judicial review.

# Shakuntala Devi

Students shy away from Maths, but in reality Maths is the best friend of man.

# Henry J. Kaiser

Having an aim is the key to achieving your best.

# 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.

# Yotam Ottolenghi

Breakfast is always the best time for something juicy, sweet and fresh – it just feels like the right way to open the day. There’s no right way, though, when it comes to choosing the fruit.

# Dale Carnegie

The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it.

# John Caudwell

Really good customer service will deliver sales. You are training salesmen to give the best possible advice and then to achieve the sale. People actually like you to ask for a sale because it shows you value their business.

# Anne Wojcicki

One of the best aspects of health care reform is it starts to emphasize prevention.

# Lita Ford

I’m happy when I’m doing what I do best.

# Erinn Hayes

I was so sad that ‘Best Friends Forever’ got cancelled. I thought it was a great show and NBC didn’t give it a chance. I’m a big fan of the NBC comedies.

# 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.

# Snoop Dogg

Sometimes a loss is the best thing that can happen. It teaches you what you should have done next time.

# Bert Kreischer

Skydiving is fascinating, the best part is cruising in the air and realizing that the dice has been thrown and you’re either going to die or not. It’s a very helpless feeling but it’s so freeing.

# Ruben Studdard

I’m not in the best shape, but I want to prove to myself I can do something that seems insurmountable and inspire others by showing them no matter where they are in their fitness goals, they can do it, too.

# John Hutton

The Civil Service is a vital economic asset to the UK – firstly, in the way it creates a framework for excellence in service delivery and secondly, in how it helps organise the best way to deliver modern public services on which both businesses and individuals depend.

# Rickie Fowler

It’s great to be somewhat of a role model. I want to be a positive and good role model and lead by example and try to do the best I can. Playing good golf definitely draws attention, but I want to have a good attitude on the course and do the right things.

To be free from evil thoughts is God’s best gift.

Words empty as the wind are best left unsaid.

# Harold MacMillan

# Ben Kingsley

If your best friend has stolen your girlfriend, it does become life and death.

# Rhys Ifans

I work hard and I party hard. When I go to work, I know what I am doing and I do it to the best of my abilities. When I party, I take exactly the same rule book with me.

# Marcus Tullius Cicero

Brevity is the best recommendation of speech, whether in a senator or an orator.

# Meghan Markle

The best job a man could have would be a chef. They’d understand the long hours I work and the drive and ambition it takes to succeed.

The best stuff – the most interesting stuff – usually happens when I allow myself to be in the moment and working from that space.

# John Mayer

I’d like to think the best of me was still hiding up in my sleeve.

# Don Miguel Ruiz

Always do your best.

# James Acaster

If you just focus on getting better, and not being the best, you have such a good time.

# Jay Hernandez

Best thing that’s happened this year? Maybe Hostel. It was a great experience. I loved it.

# Gladys Berejiklian

For me, being Australian is having the opportunity to be your best. This country, this state, gives us every opportunity we could hope for.

# Oprah Winfrey

I was raised to believe that excellence is the best deterrent to racism or sexism. And that’s how I operate my life.

# Jacob Collier

It’s hard to say that one way of doing things is the best for everybody all the time.

# Vivienne Westwood

I think dress, hairstyle and make-up are the crucial factors in projecting an attractive persona and give one the chance to enhance one’s best physical features.

# Natalya Neidhart

Sometimes the best thing we can ask for is change, and a fresh start forces us to confront change head-on.

# Eliza Coupe

My hands are huge. When I was on ‘Scrubs,’ Zach Braff used to make fun of them all the time. And now I made some list. I guess Jennifer Garner is on the top of the list for best hands and I’m fourth down. But that’s for people who really like an NBA star’s hands.

# Janis Ian

The best thing you can learn from the worst times of your life is that it always gets better. It may take a month, a year, a decade, but it will get better if you leave yourself open to it.

# Jerome Powell

More regulation is not the best answer to every problem.

# Jerry Falwell, Jr.

Liberty University is pro-life and believes that marriage between one man and one woman provides the best environment for children.

# Tim Tebow

Honestly, I’m just trying to do the best I can with every opportunity I’m given, and when I’m given the opportunities make the most of them.

# Clint Eastwood

There’s a lot of great movies that have won the Academy Award, and a lot of great movies that haven’t. You just do the best you can.

# 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.

# Philippe Coutinho

What I need to do is to work hard and to always do my best to help the team.

# Akio Toyoda

Everyone says Toyota is the best company in the world, but the customer doesn’t care about the world. They care if we are the best in town, or not. That’s what I want to be.

# Mae Jemison

I want to make sure that that future that we’re creating is one that is the best it can be for people around the world, and also one that includes the full range of our talent and our skills – and, you know, gender and ethnicity, geography – to solving the world’s problems.

# Stokely Carmichael

I usually say I did the best I could with what I had. I have no major regrets.

# Klay Thompson

I think I might not be the best vertical athlete, but I think I’m quicker than people give me credit for. That was the biggest knock on me coming out of college.

# Isabela Moner

I can make the best fart noises. I can make, like, 10 different sounds at different levels.

# Sidney Crosby

I always wanted to be the best and to get the most out of myself.

# Barack Obama

I know my country has not perfected itself. At times, we’ve struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people. We’ve made our share of mistakes, and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions.

# Amor Towles

I published ‘Rules of Civility’ while I was still working. It became a best seller. I was working on this book, and then I decided to retire.

I’m getting a bunch more face tattoos, because it doesn’t look like I’m ever going to have to apply to a Walmart or Best Buy.

# Lin Dan

Lee Chong Wei is no doubt the best men’s singles opponent I’ve played, and this gives me extra motivation to raise my game each time I play against him.

My goal is always to just do my best and hope that the people who find my music also find God in the process. –Lauren Daigle

# Asdrubal Cabrera

I’ve really enjoyed playing this game. It’s a game that I try my best to enjoy to the fullest. Without pressure. Relaxed. And that helps me when I play.

# Ivanka Trump

Marrying Jared was the best decision I’ve ever made. You realize in life, not that many things matter that much, but your choice of a spouse is everything. We’re truly partners – he supports my work and my ambitions. I know that he’s always got my back, and I’ve got his.

# W. E. B. Du Bois

No universal selfishness can bring social good to all. Communism – the effort to give all men what they need and to ask of each the best they can contribute – this is the only way of human life.

# Jamie Dimon

I think that technology is the best thing that ever happened to mankind. It’s an absurd notion that somehow, ‘My God, what are we going to do when driverless cars come along?’ It’s going to save lives on the road. And maybe, one day, we’ll all be working four days a week and not five or six days a week.

# Ward Churchill

Truth is the best defense.

# vRoy Harper

I’d just like to prove to myself that I’m all here and all together and can get the best out of myself. I’d also like to prove that to a couple of other people.

# 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.

I just try to do the best I can for myself and the people around me.

Life writes the best stories.

What’s the best angle to cut someone’s throat? Well, usually from behind. That’s usually how it works.

# Daniel Radcliffe

I was in the bath at the time, and my dad came running in and said, ‘Guess who they want to play Harry Potter!?’ and I started to cry. It was probably the best moment of my life.

Be original. That’s my best advice. You’re going to find that there’s something that you do well, and try to do it with as much originality as you can, and don’t skimp on the words. Work on the words.

# Ruth Gordon

The very best impromptu speeches are the ones written well in advance.

# Wes Craven

If I’m going to be a caged bird, I’ll sing the best song I can.

# Gabrielle Giffords

Be passionate. Be courageous. Be your best.

# Robert M. Pirsig

Traditional scientific method has always been at the very best, 20 – 20 hindsight. It’s good for seeing where you’ve been. It’s good for testing the truth of what you think you know, but it can’t tell you where you ought to go.

# Alain de Botton

The best cure for one’s bad tendencies is to see them fully developed in someone else.

# Paul Weller

People say you make your best work when you’re in despair and all that, and at your lowest – but for me, I think happiness makes you positive, and I think that’s a good creative place to write from.

# Nick Sagan

For a genre that’s about looking to the future, science fiction has sure been looking backwards lately. Nostalgia is what sells best, with readers spending their money on movie tie-in novels and sequels to long-running series.

# Markus Zusak

Failure has been my best friend as a writer. It tests you, to see if you have what it takes to see it through.

# Nick Kyrgios

I feel like I’m one of the best players in the world tactically.

# Kapil Dev

In the long run, I believe that honesty is definitely the best policy. One can get away by being dishonest for a short term, but ultimately, honesty is what pays.

# Shoeless Joe Jackson

God knows I gave my best in baseball at all times and no man on earth can truthfully judge me otherwise.

# Reshma Saujani

A movement only takes form from that first act. Exploring a curiosity, or a real passion, and being motivated by a desire to solve something – that’s really the best way.

# Red Adair

It scares you: all the noise, the rattling, the shaking. But the look on everybody’s face when you’re finished and packing, it’s the best smile in the world; and there’s nobody hurt, and the well’s under control.

# Owen Feltham

Negligence is the rust of the soul, that corrodes through all her best resolves.

# Kristen Stewart

My best friend just had a baby, and she’s my age. So I’m a godmom now, which is crazy.

# Jonathan Lipnicki

If you want to perform at your ultimate best, if you want to be the best you can be in sports and in school, mentally, physically – chiropractic is the way, because everything has to do with your nervous system.

# Jean Marais

Life is unfair. I got nothing but the best.

# 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.

# Lindsey Shaw

I just wanna give a big shout out to all the fans out there who have followed my work up until now. You guys are amazing!! Hearing from fans is the best feeling in the world.

# Patrick Kane

I think I owe it to myself to put my best effort forward and prove how good I can be.

# Shereen El Feki

4Shbab has been dubbed Islamic MTV. Its creator, who is an Egyptian TV producer called Ahmed Abu Haiba, wants young people to be inspired by Islam to lead better lives. He reckons the best way to get that message across is to use the enormously popular medium of music videos. 4Shbab was set up as an alternative to existing Arab music channels.

# Hugh Mackay

Obviously, every child should be given the best possible opportunity to acquire literacy skills.

# Bruce Dickinson

Best two rock voices I’ve heard in a last few years both have been from grunge bands: it’s Eddie Vedder and the other one is Chris Cornell from Soundgarden.

# Zak Bagans

The best part of my job is being able to travel to places to investigate powerful stories, many of which contains unsolved mysteries and deaths. To me as a documentarian and paranormal investigator, this puts the adventure in my life and meaning to my job.

# Paul Haggis

For me, the most interesting people are ones who often work against their best interests. Bad choices. They go in directions where you go, ‘No no no nooo!’ You push away someone who is trying to love you, you hurt someone who’s trying to get your trust, or you love someone you shouldn’t.

# Michael Strahan

I have the best memories as a kid eating ice cream. It was a family tradition that I had with my father. It was nice.

# Eric Bristow

Mark my words, Michael Van Gerwen will knock Phil Taylor off his perch one day and be the best darts player on the planet.
