Perfection


 'Tis true, perfection none must hope to find in all the world, much less in woman-kind

 "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.

 A beautiful thing is never perfect.

 A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil is to be respected as if he reveals a secret of hidden treasure.
  Buddha

 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

 Ballet's image of perfection is fashioned amid a milieu of wracked bodies, fevered imaginations, Balkan intrigue and sulfurous hatreds where anything is likely, and dancers know it.
  Shana Alexander

 Be intent upon the perfection of the present day

 Be like a duck. Calm on the surface, but always paddling like the dickens underneath.

 Done is better than perfect.

 Every thing that grows Holds in perfection but a little moment
  William Shakespeare

 Flowers do not force their way with great strife. Flowers open to perfection slowly in the sun.... Don't be in a hurry about spiritual matters. Go step by step, and be very sure.

 For my own part, my belief in the perfection of the Deity will not permit me to believe that a book so manifestly obscure, disorderly, and contradictory can be His work
  Thomas Paine

 Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it.
  Salvador Dalí
