To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.

Perfect solutions of our difficulties are not to be looked for in an imperfect world.

Nothing is perfect on the human stage.

No human being is perfect. In our individual and collective lives every expression of greatness is followed, not by a period symbolizing completeness, but by a comma implying partialness. Following every affirmation of greatness is the conjunction "but." Naaman "was a great man," says the Old Testament, "but . . ."-that "but" reveals something tragic and disturbing-"but he was a leper.

I believe that in the end that it is kindness and accommodation that are all the catalysts for real change.

Hardships exist to make me stronger, helping me grow and improve, not to leave me hopeless or discouraged.
