If you'd like to be good at something, the first thing to out the window is the notion of perfection.
Best Quotes about Perfection
I don't like these cold, precise, perfect people who, in order not to speak wrong, never speak at all, and in order not to do wrong, never do anything.
Beecher, Henry Ward
Perfection is a trifle dull. It is not the least of life's ironies that this, which we all aim at, is better not quite achieved.
Maugham, W. Somerset
Perfection is the child of time.
Hall, Joseph
One that desires to excel should endeavor in those things that are in themselves most excellent.
Epictetus
Everything is perfect in the universe -- even your desire to improve it.
Dyer, Wayne
The idea of perfect closes your mind to new standards.. When you drive hard toward one ideal, you miss opportunities and paths, not to mention hurting your confidence. Believe in your potential and then go out and explore it; donÆt limit it.
John Eliot, Ph.D.
Every time, all the time, I'm a perfectionist. I feel I should never lose.
Evert, Chris
Perfection is what American women expect to find in their husbands... but English women only hope to find in their butlers.
Maugham, W. Somerset
You can spend a lifetime, and, if you're honest with yourself, never once was your work perfect.
Heston, Charlton
No barber shaves so close but another finds his work.
Proverb, English
Perfecting is our destiny, but perfection never our lot.
Weber, C. J.
It is no crime not to be perfect
All excellent things are as difficult as they are rare.
Spinoza, Baruch (Benedict de)
To demand perfection is a sure way to be disappointed in everybody, for you will be bound to think ill of others.
Monica Fairview
The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself.
Anna Quindlen
Perfection is our goal, excellence will be tolerated.
Yahl, J.
Perfect works are rare, because they must be produced at the happy moment when taste and genius unite; and this rare conjuncture, like that of certain planets, appears to occur only after the revolution of several cycles, and only lasts for an instant.
Chateaubriand, Vicomte De
The perfect normal person is rare in our civilization.
Horney, Karen
Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Finality is death. Perfection is finality. Nothing is perfect. There are lumps in it, said the Philosopher.
Stephens, James
The more perfect a thing is, the more susceptible to good and bad treatment it is.
Dante Alighieri
Perfectionism is the enemy of creation, as extreme self-solitude is the enemy of well-being.
Updike, John
When you aim for perfection, you discover it's a moving target.
Fisher, Geoffrey F.
If you'd like to be good at something, the first thing to out the window is the notion of perfection.
Scott Berkun
So much perfection argues rottenness somewhere.
Webb, Beatrice Potter
If there was nothing wrong in the world there wouldn't be anything for us to do.
Shaw, George Bernard
I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence, I can reach for; perfection is God's business.
Michael J. Fox
The closest to perfection a person ever comes is when he fills out a job application form.
Randall, Stanely J.
Perfection has one grave defect. It is apt to be dull.
Maugham, W. Somerset
No one becomes perfect, but some become great.
I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active --not more happy --nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.
Poe, Edgar Allan
Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them - every day begin the task anew.
Saint Francis de Sales
[M]aybe the most any of us can expect of ourselves isn't perfection but progress.
Michelle Burford
Have no fear of perfection-you'll never reach it.
Dali, Salvador
No one ever approaches perfection except by stealth, and unknown to themselves.
Hazlitt, William
The nearest to perfection that most people come is when filling out an employment application.
Nothing would be done at all if one waited until one could do it so well that no one could find fault with it.
Newman, Cardinal J.
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.
Chesterfield, Lord
It is only imperfection that complains of what is imperfect. The more perfect we are the more gentle and quiet we become towards the defects of others.
Addison, Joseph
Be ye therefore perfect, eve as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.
Bible
Perfection is perfectly simple; fouling things up requires true skill.
Horton, Doug
Measure not by the scale of perfection the meager product of reality.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
The intellect of man is forced to choose perfection of the life, or of the work, and if it take the second must refuse a heavenly mansion, raging in the dark.
Yeats, William Butler
Perfection consists not in doing extraordinary things, but in doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.
Arnauld, Angelique
The pursuit of perfection often impedes improvement.
Will, George F.
Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it.
Salvador Dali
Assert your right to make a few mistakes. If people can't accept your imperfections, that's their fault.
Dr. David M. Burns
You have to let people see what you wrote. It will never be perfect, but perfect is overrated. Perfect is boring.
Tina Fey
Fix your eyes on perfection and you make almost everything speed towards it.
Channing, William Ellery
I have always suspected that correctness is the last refuge of those who have nothing to say.
Wasiman, Friedrich
