The worst of me is the raw material from which God molds the best of me.

For, if we’re really going to give ourselves the best of ourselves, we have to be honest with the worst of ourselves.

The worst thing that I can do is humanize God. The second worst thing that I can do is deify myself. And the best thing that I can do is to avoid both.

I can arrogantly brag that the doors I choose in life open wide and grant me unobstructed passage. But the widest doors tend to lead to the worst places.

It is in building the best of our abilities that we ultimately destroy the worst of our liabilities.

If we’re really to give ourselves the best of ourselves, we have to be honest with the worst of ourselves.

It's realizing that the best of life often arises out of the worst of circumstances.
