“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.”

“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

“You will be at your best forever, Even now you have good moments. Occasional glimpses of your heavenly self. When you change your baby's diaper, forgive your boss's temper, tolerate your spouse's moodiness, you display traces of saintliness.”

Max Lucado (1955) American clergyman and writer

“The moment is your only duty. Your duty at any time in your life is to do what you have to do from moment to moment. What you have to do is what you cannot avoid doing. What you cannot avoid doing is what you do.”

Barry Long (1926–2003) Australian spiritual teacher and writer

“Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the mext moment”

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

“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

“I also believe in the value of excellence and bringing your best self. My father used to tell me if you’re going to do something, be the best at it.”

Nina Vaca businessperson

“The freedom to do your best means nothing unless you are willing to do your best.”

Colin Powell (1937) Former U.S. Secretary of State and retired four-star general

“It is expected you should do your best for those you are assigned for, as it is expected in any other case, that you do your duty for your client.”

John Holt (Lord Chief Justice) (1642–1710) English lawyer and Lord Chief Justice of England

“You never really know how or when your life is going to change, and that's for the best.”

Caroline Myss (1952) author from the United States
