We must, even in our honest political fervor, fear neither partisan criticism nor self-criticism. For the pretense of perfection is not one of the marks of good public servants.

The perfect human being is all human beings put together, it is a collective, it is all of us together that make perfection.

Details make perfection, and perfection is not a detail.

To go to prison because of your convictions and be prepared to suffer for what you believe in, is something worthwhile. It is an achievement for a man to do his duty on earth irrespective of the consequences.

Perfection can never be attained by work.

If you look for perfection, you'll never be content.
