10 QUOTES WITH «THE BEST»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word the best.
1
Paula Abdul
America fell in love with the innocence of a kid who just was honest, saying, I did the best I could, and I had no formal training.
2
Don Ameche
I'm not like Henry Fonda. He lives to act. I've just had a dedication to do the best I could. When I don't have challenges, the days get long. But I do enjoy being on stage. If I do good work, I get a kick out of that.
3
Paul Arden
We are all advertising, all of the time. If you want to sell your car, what do you do? You clean and polish it and make it the best you can. Some people bake bread when they are trying to sell their house because the smell adds a friendly feeling. Even the priest, with all his or her fervour, is advertising God. Everybody is selling.
4
Michael Arrington

After those interviews I endorsed one candidate from each party - Barack Obama and John McCain. Neither of them were leading the primaries at the time, but they seemed like the best candidates, solely from a tech policy perspective.

7
Michael Birch
I wanted to build something that was a system - that was mechanical and would propagate itself like a virus. I needed a way for it spread from person to person, and the best way to do that was trying to get someone to get their friends to sign up.
8
Big Boi
My goal every time I make a record is just to make the funkiest, the best music I could possibly make, both lyrically, and music-wise.
9
Pat Boone
So I would say Reagan was the best, and certainly Clinton the worst.
10
