Saint Thomas Aquinas

Hugh Laurie

Even imperfection itself may have its ideal or perfect state.
Thomas de Quincey

Persuade thyself that imperfection and inconvenience are the natural lot of mortals, and there will be no room for discontent, neither for despair.
Ieyasu Tokugawa

There is a kind of beauty in imperfection.
Conrad Hall

Both our senses and our passions are a supply to the imperfection of our nature; thus they show that we are such sort of creatures as to stand in need of those helps which higher orders of creatures do not.
Joseph Butler
