“My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.”

Oprah Winfrey (1954) American businesswoman, talk show host, actress, producer, and philanthropist

“Always Do Your Best. Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.”

Miguel Ángel Ruiz book The Four Agreements

“In any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.”

Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, 26th president of the United States

As quoted by John M. Kost http://www.mackinac.org/bio.aspx?ID=104 (25 July 1995) in S. 946, the Information Technology Management Reform Act of 1995: hearing before the Subcommittee on Oversight of Government Management and the District of Columbia of the Committee on Governmental Affairs (1996). <br class="br">This appears to derive from a 1910 advertisement by writer Alfred Henry Lewis for a forthcoming series of biographical articles about Roosevelt: &quot;All activity, Mr. Roosevelt has often shown that it is better to do the wrong thing than do nothing at all. In politics this last is peculiarly true. The best thing is to do the right thing; the next best is to do the wrong thing; the worst thing of all things is to stand perfectly still&quot;. (e.g. in La Follette&#x27;s Magazine https://books.google.com/books?id=RV4CAAAAIAAJ&amp;pg=PA183&amp;dq=%22best+thing%22+%22right+thing%22+%22worst+thing%22+nothing&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwjNksu-nZrMAhVDy2MKHSl1Df8Q6AEIIzAB#v=onepage&amp;q=%22the%20best%20thing%20is%20to%20do%20the%20right%20thing%22&amp;f=false (28 May 1910) <br class="br">Disputed

“Even the best thought is not as good as the moment you detach from it. Even the most important content isn't as important as the moment you learn you can do without it. Like a good teacher.”

“You can't always get the perfect moment. Sometimes, you just have to do the best you can under the circumstances.”

Sarah Dessen (1970) American writer

“The duty of the moment is what you should be doing at any given time, in whatever place God has put you. You may not have Christ in a homeless person at your door, but you may have a little child. If you have a child, your duty of the moment may be to change a dirty diaper. So you do it. But you don’t just change that diaper, you change it to the best of your ability, with great love for both God and that child…. There are all kinds of good Catholic things you can do, but whatever they are, you have to realize that there is always the duty of the moment to be done. And it must be done, because the duty of the moment is the duty of God.”

Catherine Doherty (1896–1985) Religious order founder; Servant of God

Dear Parents (1997)
