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.
The quote in question, "You did the best you could, the best you knew how at the time," is attributed to Maya Angelou, as shared by Oprah Winfrey during her show. Oprah emphasized that the sentiment is from Maya Angelou, not herself. The quote resonated with many viewers because it offers understanding and compassion for personal growth and mistakes made along the way.
This sentiment was revisited by Oprah during her show on January 7, 2009, when she acknowledged Maya Angelou as the source. Oprah included this quote in her book, "The Best of Oprah's What I Know For Sure," highlighting its significance in promoting self-acceptance and forgiveness during challenging moments.
