"Mediocre men work at their best; men seeking excellence strive to do better." ― Edwin Louis Cole Topic(s): Best More From Edwin Louis Cole "Trust funds can never be a substitute for a fund of trust." "Successful people recognize crisis as a time for change – from lesser to greater, smaller to bigger." "Knowledge of God’s Word is a bulwark against deception, temptation, accusation, even persecution." More In Best "Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next."― Gilda Radner "Our best successes often come after our greatest disappointments."― Henry Ward Beecher "Whole communities are growing up without fathers or male role models. Bringing up a family in the best of circumstances is not easy. To try to do it by placing the entire burden on women – 91% of single-parent families in Britain are headed by the mother, according to census data – is practically absurd and morally indefensible."― Jonathan Sacks
