Aim at perfection in everything, though in most things it is unattainable. However, they who aim at it, and persevere, will come much nearer to it than those whose laziness and despondency make them give it up as unattainable.
Lord Chesterfield
To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.
Winston Churchill
The most difficult part of attaining perfection is finding something to do for an encore.
Unknown
Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life.
Dr. David M. Burns
The true perfection of man lies not in what man has, but in what man is.
Oscar Wilde
Perfectionism is the enemy of creation, as extreme self-solitude is the enemy of well-being,
John Updike, Odd Jobs
The pursuit of perfection, then, is the pursuit of sweetness and light.
Matthew Arnold
Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
Antoine de Saint-ExupÈry
All of us failed to match our dreams of perfection.
William Faulkner
The closest to perfection a person ever comes is when he fills out a job application form.
Stanley J. Randall
All of us failed to match our dreams of perfection. So I rate us on the basis of our splendid failure to do the impossible.
William Faulkner
