"Every human being must be viewed according to what it is good for. For not one of us, no, not one, is perfect. And were we to love none who had imperfection, this world would be a desert for our love."

"My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from God as my successes and my talents and I lay them both at his feet."

"Perfection is the willingness to be imperfect.”"

"It is not worth the while to let our imperfections disturb us always."

"Choose silence of all virtues, for by it you hear other men's imperfections, and conceal your own."

"A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil is to be respected as if he reveals the secret of some hidden treasure."
