Basic training was hard, but I made it - because I wanted to be the best me. Sometimes you have to learn that being the best you is being the second best you. I learned the hard way that the army doesn't want people who always come first. Otherwise, there would be only one person in the army.

Ant Middleton

The thing that I think a lot of guys need to know how to do is not take your mother's advice about honesty being the best policy. Listen to your cool, drunk uncle who tells you to lie. Those are the relationships that last.

Adam DeVine

Relationship Cool Your

I love working with friends; it's my favorite thing to do. I've found over the years that that ends up being the best way to spend my time.

Adam Scott

Work Time Love

Being the best-paid in the Premier League fills me with pride at being Chilean.

Alexis Sanchez

Wit T Ride

I'm just thinking about being the best I can be for the team first because that's what comes first.

Aly Raisman

Use Us Thinking

I would say the first concert I ever went to is my earliest memory. I was four and already obsessed with Michael Jackson. We were living in Munich at the time. My mom, being the best person ever, somehow managed to get us two tickets to the '97 Michael Jackson History World Tour.

Amber Mark

Time Mom History

Don't worry about being famous or making money; the most important thing is being the best. You have to become a master of your craft, and everything else will come.

Anastasia Soare

Money Famous Your

Basic training was hard, but I made it - because I wanted to be the best me. Sometimes you have to learn that being the best you is being the second best you. I learned the hard way that the army doesn't want people who always come first. Otherwise, there would be only one person in the army.

Ant Middleton

Time You Would

I did learn that there's a bigger picture than just being the best at your sport.

Ashlyn Harris

Your You Us

I established my first writing routine when I was 13. The school year had just ended, and I'd won a stack of books for being the best student in a number of subjects. The pile included several 60-leaved notebooks that I decided to fill with short stories.

Ayobami Adebayo

Year Writing Won

Some people who come from high levels in other backgrounds where they're used to being the best or used to being on a kind of pedestal, it's hard to kind of lower yourself again and just be one of the grunts. I kind of enjoyed that challenge in MMA.

Ben Askren

Yourself Yours Your

I think it doesn't matter if you are the best surfer in the world. I'm going to try to be the best surfer I can be. It's not all about competing and being the best. It's more about having fun and just doing what you love.

Bethany Hamilton

Pet Love You

If I put a statement about being the best interviewer into the universe, I must now live up to it, or at least be held accountable for it. Either way, I'm going to work that much harder.

Bobby Bones

Work Men Way

My motivation is being the best. Pretty simple and straightforward.

Brian Shaw

War T Straightforward

I'm focused on being the best, making history.

Canelo Alvarez

History Used Use

When I'm feeling comfortable at home, confident in my day-to-day, being healthy and being the best person I can be, MMA is easy.

Cat Zingano

Home Health Thy

I was never a pretty girl, so I wasn't the one to get the boy. I used to cast myself as a good sport. Sometimes I wonder if I do that too much with roles I play, because if I'm absolutely truthful, I quite like being the best friend, or the supporting role, and actually I ought to gear-change and make myself the leading role.

Celia Imrie

Truth Time Good

I'm a big believer in evolution, growth, and in being the best you that you can be, and I feel like the first step to doing that is getting mentally healthy.

Charlamagne tha God

Men Health You

I'm thinking about being the best I can be at ESPN in the studio.

Chauncey Billups

Thinking Think Thin

You hear these yummy mummies talk about being the best possible mother, and they put all their effort into their children. I also want to be the best possible mother, but I know that my job as a mother includes bringing my children up so, actually, they can live without me.

Cherie Blair

You Without Wit

I think, in the U.S., we have such a focus on the physicality, on being the best athlete, that it sort of overshadows the football aspect of it.

Christen Press

Us Think Thin

You have to have that dog-eat-dog kind of mentality. I think me playing football all my life and having that chip on my shoulder, not really getting the opportunities that I wanted, really carried over to track and field. It allowed me to use all that energy and put it in the direction of being the best track athlete that I could be.

Christian Coleman

I stopped worrying about how other people define me a little bit ago. I used to care a lot. Now I just don't care that much. Really, what I'm worried about is, am I being the best me I can be?

Christian McCaffrey

With someone who is genuinely abusive or a bad person, you should just get out of town. But if they're being the best person they know how to be, then you have to decide if there isn't much there you can love and not become consumed with what they're not able to give you.

Christie Hefner

I grew up as a sports fan, and I know that a hall of fame is very different than an award for being the best of the year. It's a nod to the longevity of our accomplishment.

Chuck D

To me, being the best means proving it in different countries and championships.

Cristiano Ronaldo

Even as a kid in drawing class, I had real ambition. I wanted to be the best in the class, but there was always some other feller who was better; so I thought, 'It can't be about being the best, it has to be about the drawing itself, what you do with it.' That's kind of stuck with me.

Damien Hirst

I'm in this sport to win but win by being the best, not by being lucky.

Daniel Ricciardo

The Dave Clark Five was basically a live band. During '63 we got the Gold Cup for being the best live band in Britain.

Dave Clark

There's no way you can imagine going from kids in high school to being the best band in the world.

David Bryan

I would be happy at a piano bar, singing. I just want to home in on being the best singer I can be.

Debby Boone

Leadership is being the best example you can be for your teammates. The guy that everybody can depend on on a nightly basis.

DeMarcus Cousins

When it was clear I couldn't stay in New Orleans, I went out and created what would end up being the best opportunity for myself. I asked my agent to set up a call with the Warriors. I knew they could use a big.

DeMarcus Cousins

I wouldn't want to be ideological about it but I think of it as being the best way to approach this kind of playing. I don't think it works in other music, other kinds of playing.

Derek Bailey

It was a culture shock at first, moving from Michigan to Mississippi. But it ended up being the best decision I ever made.

Devin Booker

I love music so much I love what I do. I work very hard at being the best musician I can be because I love it.

Diana Krall

My parents sacrificed so much for all of us. It makes me want to give back to them by being the best I can be.

Diana Lopez

Miz and I grew up a couple of minutes apart in the Cleveland area and both had dreams of being WWE Superstars and being the best.

Dolph Ziggler

Once I dedicated my time to mixed martial arts, I became careful about what I let into my mind. I made a goal of being the best on Earth in mixed martial arts and fighting. I wanted to build my mind into something good, not just of the world. I wanted to be different.

Dominick Cruz

I think - whether it's music, literature, sport, art, whatever you want - there's nobody who can stop us if we only apply ourselves with the singular objective of being the best in the world.

Enda Kenny

I'm not trying to win an award for being the best vegetarian, just want to be healthy. Take a salt bath. Do things that my parents were never able to do. I'm blessed to do anything I want, so I decide to take the best care of my body and my family in the same way. Holistically. Vitally.

Erykah Badu

Medicine ended up being the best thing I ever did for my writing.

Ethan Canin

I'm about being the best.

Frank Ocean

The practice of being on a spiritual path isn't about being the best meditator or the kindest possible person or the most enlightened. The practice is about surrendering to love as often as possible.

Gabrielle Bernstein

You get so afraid of failure and so afraid of losing and so afraid of not being the best that it's not a natural drive - it's born out of fear of failure. Which helps in Hollywood.

Gabrielle Union

For me, if I had a magical match that I was so proud of, and I had to work the same person after that again, it was always about topping that last thing and being the best.

Gail Kim

I think my initial view of it is that 'The Room' has succeeded in being the best bad movie because it's the most earnest. I feel like it's a film that comes from the heart, and somebody's really trying to send a message about their life and their view on the human experience.

Greg Sestero

I am neither frustrated nor planning anything other than being the best Secretary of State I could be.

Hillary Clinton

I'm gonna forget all the negative press and focus on being the best version of myself.

Jake Paul

If you just focus on getting better, and not being the best, you have such a good time.

James Acaster

'On earth the living have much to bear;' the difference is chiefly in the manner of bearing, and my manner of bearing is far from being the best.
