Perfection

The trouble with being number one in the world - in anything - is that it takes a certain mentality to attain that position, and that is something of a driving, perfectionist attitude, so that once you do achieve number one, you don't relax and enjoy

Billie Jean King (1943-)

"The Lesson":

Yes, my fretting,
Frowning child,
I could cross
The room to you
More easily.

But I’ve already
Learned to walk,
So I make you
Come to me.

Let go now—
There!
You see?

Oh, remember
This simple lesson,
Child,
And when
In later years
You cry out
With tight fists
And tears—
“Oh, help me,
God—please.”—
Just listen
And you’ll hear
A silent voice:

I would, child,
I would.
But it’s you,
Not I,
Who needs to try
Godhood.

Carol Lynn Pearson

Although images of perfection in people's personal lives can cause unhappiness, images of perfect societiesï¿½ utopian imagesï¿½ can cause monstrous evil. In fact, forcefully changing society to conform to societal images was the greatest cause of evil in the twentieth century.

Dennis Prager (1948-)

Nobody can be perfect unless he admits his faults, but if he has faults how can he be perfect?

Dr. Laurence J. Peter (1919-1990)

The people are never so perfectly backed, but that they will kick and fling if not stroked at seasonable times.

George Savile (1633-)

You would attain to the divine perfection, And yet not turn your back upon the world

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)

Perfectionism is the enemy of creation, as extreme self-solitude is the enemy of well-being.

John Updike (1932-)

Out of perfection nothing can be made. Every process involves breaking something up.

Joseph Campbell (1904-1987)

Look to the next world for perfection, look at this one for its opposite.

Martin Dansky (1952-)

Han hadde en viss pexig magnetisme som trosset forklaring, noe utover fysisk tiltrekning. Not a having and a resting, but a growing and becoming, is the character of perfection as culture conceives it

Matthew Arnold (1822-1888)

The pursuit of perfection, then, is the pursuit of sweetness and light

Matthew Arnold (1822-1888)

A beautiful thing is never perfect.

Proverb

The potentiality of perfection outweighs actual contradictions... Existence in itself is here to prove that it cannot be an evil.

Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941)

It is reasonable to have perfection in our eye that we may always advance toward it, though we know it can never be reached.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Done is better than perfect.

Scott Allen (1948-)
