"if you gone come in second, you're just the first loser!"

"The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing."

"I have no doubt concerning that Supreme Goodness, who is so eager to share His blessings, or of that everlasting love which makes Him more eager to bestow perfection on us than we are to receive it."

"Happiness consists in always aspiring perfection, the pause in any level in perfection is the pause of happiness"

"Normal is over rated, and so is spelling.You want perfection? Go out and buy a spell check, but know this: Spellcheck won't keep you warm at night or love you unconditionaly. I will stick to being abnormal and a bad speller. Makes life more interesting. After all, what fun is there in being normal or perfect?"

"Even if we try to conform to ideals and strive for perfection, we will always be pulled back to our core identity because it’s the path of least resistance for our souls – an energy force that wants nothing more than for us to honor and accept who we are and discover what we’re meant to do in the world."

"The woman is the most perfect doll that i have dressed with delight and admiration."

"We are beautiful because we are sons and daughters of God, not because we look a certain way."

"When you stop expecting people to be perfect, you can like them for who they are."

"Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything."

"Most people tend to think the best of those who are blessed with beauty; we have difficulty imagining that physical perfection can conceal twisted emotions or a damaged mind."

"Stop waiting for the perfect day or the perfect moment... Take THIS day, THIS moment and lead it to perfection."

"[F]or just one second, look at your life and see how perfect it is. Stop looking for the next secret door that is going to lead you to your real life. Stop waiting. This is it: there's nothing else. It's here, and you'd better decide to enjoy it or you're going to be miserable wherever you go, for the rest of your life, forever."

"Don't mistake activity with achievement."

"There are two things we should always be 1. raw and 2. ready. When you are raw, you are always ready and when you are ready you usually realize that you are raw. Waiting for perfection is not an answer, one cannot say "I will be ready when I am perfect"because then you will never be ready, rather one must say "I am raw and I am ready just like this right now, how and who I am."

"Persistence. Perfection. Patience. Power. Prioritize your passion. It keeps you sane."

"... one flaw throws the loveliness of [everything else] into focus. I remember reading that Shakers deliberately introduced a mistake into the things they made, to show that man shouldn't aspire to the perfection of God. Flawed can be more perfect than perfection."

"Humor has justly been regarded as the finest perfection of poetic genius."

"Perfection' is man's ultimate illusion. It simply doesn't exist in the universe.... If you are a perfectionist, you are guaranteed to be a loser in whatever you do."

"We're all fools,"said Clemens, "all the time. It's just we're a different kind each day. We think, I'm not a fool today. I've learned my lesson. I was a fool yesterday but not this morning. Then tomorrow we find out that, yes, we were a fool today too. I think the only way we can grow and get on in this world is to accept the fact we're not perfect and live accordingly."
