A desire arises in the mind. It is satisfied immediately another comes. In the interval which separates two desires a perfect calm reigns in the mind. It is at this moment freed from all thought, love or hate. Complete peace equally reigns between two mental waves.
Swami Sivananda
The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition.
Dr. Carl Sagan
Acting is the perfect idiot's profession.
Katharine Hepburn
A perfect democracy is therefore the most shameless thing in the world.
Edmund Burke
The most important thing she'd learned over the years was that there was no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one.
Jill Churchill
By education I mean that training in excellence from youth upward which makes a man passionately desire to be a perfect citizen, and teaches him to rule, and to obey, with justice. This is the only education which deserves the name.
Plato
In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful.
Alice Walker
They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds.
Winston Churchill
To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.
Winston Churchill
They say 'practice" makes perfect.' Of course, it doesn't. For the vast majority of golfers it merely consolidates imperfection
Henry Longhurst
All aspects of my game need improvement. There's not one part of my game that's perfect. That's the challenge of being a professional athlete. Michael Jordan was close to perfect and he could still have a bad game. You can never be perfect and it just makes you work that much harder.
Andrew Bogut
