The best of mankind is a farmer; the best food is fruit. - Ethiopia
The best memory is that which forgets nothing, but injuries. Write kindness in marble and write injuries in the dust.
The good is the enemy of the best.
The good fellow to everyone is a good friend to no one.
The going gets tough, the tough get going.
May you wander over the face of the earth forever, never sleep twice in the same bed, never drink water twice from the same well, and never cross the same river twice in a year.
