Mikhail BaryshnikovSo I grew up feeling that I wasn't good enough, and that no-one would love me unless I was perfect. But no-one's perfect, we're not meant to be perfect. We're meant to be complete.

Women like me tend to always look over their shoulder to see who... "Who's the leader? Who's the smart one?" Never thinking it might be ME. Took a long time for me to get over that.

Hilary DuffLove is sometimes shown in the things you don't say, don't keep track of and don't notice. The greatest kindness is often shown in letting things go.

Give those around you the 'break' that you hope the world will give you on your own 'bad day' and you'll never, ever regret it.
Neale Donald WalschSaying yes to God isn't about perfect performance, but rather perfect surrender to the Lord day by day.

The ripples are like the slates of a blind of a shutter through which we see imperfectly what is perfect. Though that other world can be seen only momentarily, it looks everlasting. As the ripples become more agitated, the window darkens and the other world is hidden.the surface of the river is like a living soul, which is easy to disturb, is often disturbed, but, growing calm, shows what it was, is, and will be.

Lauren WeisbergerThe essence of Theosophy is the perfect harmonizing of the divine with the human in man, the adjustment of his god-like qualities and aspirations, and their sway over the terrestrial or animal passions in him. Kindness, absence of every ill feeling or selfishness, charity, goodwill to all beings, and perfect justice to others as to oneself, are its chief features. He who teaches Theosophy preaches the gospel of goodwill; and the converse of this is true also โ he who preaches the gospel of goodwill, teaches Theosophy.
H. P. BlavatskyYou make other team think you going one way and you got to sell the move going that way and you've got to really make them think that you're going that way and they're going the other way.

That's what I think the perfect one is to where a teammate of his has to stop you from scoring.
Allen IversonDon't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now.

Cat StevensTips for aspiring writers: don't be afraid of writing rubbish. It's very easy to become hypnotised by an empty page or screen. It's tempting to abandon a half-finished work because you can't make it perfect. I hereby give you permission to write things that aren't perfect, make mistakes, try things that don't work, experiment with styles you're not used to and generally throw words around. You'll learn much faster that way.

Dan SantatIf you are living for an ideal and driving yourself as hard as you can to be perfect - at your job or as a mother or as a perfect wife - you lose the natural, slow rythmn of life.

Satish KumarThat was the thing about Prabhupada, you see. He didn't just talk about loving Krishna and getting out of this place, but he was the perfect example.

It was enough to make me try harder, to be just a little bit better. He was a perfect example of everything he preached.
