Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence I can reach for; perfection is God's business.
Perfectionism is not the same thing as striving to be our best. Perfectionism is not about healthy achievement and growth; it's a shield.
I'm in pursuit of what cannot be achieved: perfection.
Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
In this fallen world, I suspect we will never achieve perfection. But that won't stop me trying.
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.
Perfection doesn't exist.
Don't strive to be perfect. Strive for excellence.
Perfectionism is not a quest for the best. It is a pursuit of the worst in ourselves, the part that tells us that nothing we do will ever be good enough - that we should try again.
The pursuit of perfection often impedes improvement.
