You never fail if you know in your heart that you did the best of which you are capable. I did my best. That is all I could do.

I did the best I could with what I had.

"You did the best you could, the best you knew how at the time." It was something like that. From Oprah on an Oprah show. Then I believe my quote above was from Maya Angelou on the Oprah show, not Oprah herself. I had heard it before but it was on Oprah's show again 1-7-09 and she said Maya had said it.

If you're doing the best you can, that's good enough.

I will say for myself: America, I did the best I could with what I was given.

However you envisage your role in life, all you can do is perform it as best you can.

In life you hoped to do what you could but mostly you did what you were told and that was the end of it.

Ask yourself: What is the best I can do? And then do that.

I did my best, and let me urge you to do your best, too. Isn't it the least we can do for one another?

Let's just do the best we can and call it enough.

I'm proud of you for the times you came in second, or third, or fourth, but what you did was the best you have ever done

Just do the best you can. No one can do more than that.

My life’s work has been accomplished. I did all that I could.

Do the best and leave the rest.
