You can’t let praise or criticism get to you. It’s a weakness to get caught up in either one.

Sometimes we strive so hard for perfection that we forget that imperfection is happiness.

Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.

All men have their frailties; and whoever looks for a friend without imperfections, will never find what he seeks.

I think every single imperfection adds to your beauty. I’d rather be imperfect than perfect.

Maybe the most any of us can expect of ourselves isn’t perfection but progress.

Life is not always perfect. Like a road, it has many bends, ups and down, but that’s its beauty.

The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself.

Use the talents you possess, for the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except the best.

We are all wonderful, beautiful wrecks. That’s what connects us–that we’re all broken, all beautifully imperfect.

You were born to be real, not to be perfect. You are here to be you, not to live someone else’s life.

I think that when you are famous every weakness is exaggerated.

A diamond with a flaw is worth more than a pebble without imperfections.

We are all full of weakness and errors; let us mutually pardon each other our follies – it is the first law of nature.

When you’re willing to be vulnerable, you can surprise yourself at how strong you can be.

Have no fear of perfection – you’ll never reach it.

We’re often afraid of looking at our shadow because we want to avoid the shame or embarrassment that comes along with admitting mistakes.

To realize that you do not understand is a virtue; Not to realize that you do not understand is a defect.

Vulnerability is not weakness. And that myth is profoundly dangerous.
