“Perfect does not mean perfect actions in a perfect world, but appropriate actions in an imperfect one.”

“What is Zen? Zen means doing anything perfectly, making mistakes perfectly, being defeated perfectly, hesitating perfectly, doing anything perfectly or imperfectly, perfectly. What is the meaning of this perfectly? How does it differ from perfectly? Perfectly is in the will; perfectly is in the activity. Perfectly means that at each moment of the activity there is no egoism in it… our pain is not only our own pain; it is the pain of the universe. The joy of the universe is also our joy. Our failure and misjudgment is that of nature, which never hopes or despairs, but keeps on trying. R. H. Blyth”

“I see perfection in pure action!”

“Oftentimes people expect Christians to be perfect but the reality is...Spiritual perfection is imperfection! God then does His best work.”

“Just because you are happy it does not mean that the day is perfect but that you have looked beyond its imperfections.”

“It is more Important to be of pure intention than of perfect action.”
