Best
That the Government [which the US Founder's created], though not actually perfect, is one of the best in the world, I have little doubt.
The aggregate happiness of society, which is best promoted by the practice of a virtuous policy, is, or ought to be, the end of all Government.
It is no use saying, “We are doing our best.” You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.
…how little we should worry about anything except doing our best.
The Bible is the best of all books, for it is the word of God and teaches us the way to be happy in this world and in the next. Continue therefore to read it and to regulate your life by its precepts.
And never suppose that in any possible situation, or under any circumstances, it is best for you to do a dishonorable thing, however slightly so it may appear to you.
As to Jesus of Nazareth, my opinion of whom you particularly desire, I think the system of morals and His religion as He left them to us, the best the world ever saw or is likely to see.
Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion….are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments.
I have examined all religions, and the result is that the Bible is the best book in the world.
