Lord Chesterfield
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.
Dr. David M. Burns
Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life.
William Faulkner
All of us failed to match our dreams of perfection. So I rate us on the basis of our splendid failure to do the impossible.
Eugene Delacroix
Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything.
William Law
Be intent on the perfection of the present day.
Robert Schuller
Better to do something imperfectly than to do nothing flawlessly.
Wayne W. Dyer
Everything is perfect in the universe, even your desire to improve it.
William Ellery Channing
Fix your eyes on perfection and you make almost everything speed towards it.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I do not try to dance better than anyone else. I only try to dance better than myself.
Tiger Woods
I just try to be the best I can be and hope that is the best ever.

patience quotes
Ambrose Bierce
A minor form of despair, disguised as a virtue.
Woodrow T. Wilson
All things come to him who waits - provided he knows what he is waiting for.
John Dryden
Beware the fury of a patient man.
Carl Jung
Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better to take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.
Ovid
Everything comes gradually and at its appointed hour.
Helen Keller
Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.
Michelangelo
Genius is eternal patience.
Saint Francis De Sales
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.
Benjamin Franklin
He that can have patience can have what he will.
Hesiod
If you add a little to a little, and then do it again, soon that little shall be much.

motivation quotes
J. Marriott Jr.
Motivate them, train them, care about them, and make winners out of them... they'll treat the customers right. And if customers are treated right, they'll come back.
Stephen R. Covey
Motivation is a fire from within. If someone else tries to light that fire under you, chances are it will burn very briefly.
Peter Davies
Motivation is like food for the brain. You cannot get enough in one sitting. It needs continual and regular top up's.
Lou Holtz
Motivation is simple. You eliminate those who are not motivated.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Motivation is the art of getting people to do what you want them to do because they want to do it.
Jim Ryun
Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.

life quotes
Tom Blandi
Our attitudes control our lives. Attitudes are a secret power working twenty-four hours a day, for good or bad. It is of paramount importance that we know how to harness and control this great force.
Katherine Anne Porter
Our being is subject to all the chances of life. There are so many things we are capable of, that we could be or do. The possibilities are so great that we never, any of us, are more than one-fourth fulfilled.
Thomas Jefferson
Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits.
Martin Luther King
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.
John F. Kennedy
Our problems are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings.
Sidney Madwed
Our subconscious minds have no sense of humor, play no jokes and cannot tell the difference between reality and an imagined thought or image. What we continually think about eventually will manifest in our lives.
Leo Buscaglia
Our talents are the gift that God gives to us... What we make of our talents is our gift back to God.
Henry David Thoreau
Our truest life is when we are in our dreams awake

"If I were given the opportunity to present a gift to the next generation, it would be the ability for each individual to learn to laugh at himself."

Within each of us lies the power of our consent to health and sickness, to riches and poverty, to freedom and to slavery. It is we who control these, and not another.
Richard Bach (Illusions)

They do not love that do not show their love. The course of true love never did run smooth. Love is a familiar. Love is a devil. There is no evil angel but Love.
William Shakespeare
quote1
"Music does bring people together. It allows us to experience the same emotions. People everywhere are the same in heart and spirit. No matter what language we speak, what color we are, the form of our politics or the expression of our love and our faith, music proves: We are the same."
-- John Denver

aristotle quotes
A constitution is the arrangement of magistracies in a state.
A friend to all is a friend to none.
A great city is not to be confounded with a populous one.
A sense is what has the power of receiving into itself the sensible forms of things without the matter, in the way in which a piece of wax takes on the impress of a signet-ring without the iron or gold.
A tragedy is a representation of an action that is whole and complete and of a certain magnitude. A whole is what has a beginning and middle and end.
A true friend is one soul in two bodies.
A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side.
All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire.
All men by nature desire knowledge.
All paid jobs absorb and degrade the mind.
All virtue is summed up in dealing justly.
Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody's power and is not easy.
At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; separated from law and justice he is the worst.
Bad men are full of repentance.
Bashfulness is an ornament to youth, but a reproach to old age.
Both oligarch and tyrant mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms.
Bring your desires down to your present means. Increase them only when your increased means permit.
Change in all things is sweet.
Character may almost be called the most effective means of persuasion.
Courage is a mean with regard to fear and confidence.
Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others.
Different men seek after happiness in different ways and by different means, and so make for themselves different modes of life and forms of government
Education is the best provision for old age.
Every art and every inquiry, and similarly every action and choice, is thought to aim at some good; and for this reason the good has rightly been declared to be that at which all things aim.
Good habits formed at youth make all the difference.
He who can be, and therefore is, another's, and he who participates in reason enough to apprehend, but not to have, is a slave by nature.
