“It's no use saying, "We are doing our best." You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.”

“That all any of us has to give is our best. if we do that. we succeed, no matter what the outcome.”

“Sometimes we have so much to say, we cannot say it. Sometimes it's best we do not say goodbyes.”

“There is no such thing as always doing our best. How utterly exhausting that would be. We just do what we do. And maybe it's enough.”

“We each do the best we can. My best may not be as good as your best, but it's my best. The fact is we know when we are doing our best and when we are not. If we are not doing our best, it leaves us with a gnawing hunger and frustration. But when we do our best, we experience a peace.”

“What we can do, we must do: we must use what we are given, and we must use it the best we can, however much or little help we have for the task. What you have been given is a hard thing--a very hard thing... But my darling, what if there were no one who could do the difficult things?”
