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. Oprah Winfrey
About This Quote

This is one of the most popular quotes that people use to justify their actions. However, this quote is simply not true. Everyone can do better than their best, and no one is perfect. The only way to prevent failure is to practice and plan ahead. If you fail to plan, there's no way to recover from your mistakes.
