“Without a doubt, one of the things which keeps us from attaining perfection is our tongue. When one has reached the point of no longer committing faults in speech, he has surely reached perfection, as was said by the Holy Spirit. The worst defect in talking is talking too much. Hence, in speech be brief and virtuous, brief and gentle, brief and simple, brief and charitable, brief and amiable.” SaidSpiritSimpleTalkingDoubtToo MuchWorstHolySpeechPerfectionFaultsTongueGentleHoly SpiritAttachmentVirtuousDefectsCharitableAmiableTalking Too Much Author:Saint Francis de Sales
“Don't strive for somebody else's notion of perfection. It's an unattainable and ultimately ridiculous goal.

“It is beyond a doubt that during the sixteenth century, and the years immediately preceding and following it, poisoning had been brought to a pitch of perfection which remains unknown to modern chemistry, but which is indisputably proved by history.

“Blake expressed some doubt as to whether God had made the tiger. But the tiger is in many ways an admirable animal. We have now to ask whether God made the tapeworm.

“I think one of the wonderful messages of A Dog's Purpose is how difficult it is for humans to master love without making it a muddy mess. God invented love and it is therefore perfect, and dogs are better at celebrating this perfection than we are.

“The reason I stopped modeling was because I wasn't pleased with trying to portray something that is impossible to reach. Even when I do photo shoots now for films, I'm just not interested in trying to look my best all the time anymore. That pursuit of an impossible perfection seems ridiculous to me now.

“And with a few moments like that, with doubt from here and there, and within ourselves we were just striving for excellence. We had somehow understood and felt that all the musicians who would come to the House later on, that all the singers, the big artists, were striving for excellence in their life and we thought a house for them, there’s no limit to the excellence it should have because it should match their strive for perfection” ShouldMomentsBigsArtistHouseFeltDoubtLimitsMusicianUnderstoodPerfectionShould HaveExcellenceStriveSingersHere And ThereStriving For Excellence Author:Jørn Utzon
