“Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence”
“Perfection is not attainable,” he used to say, quoting Vince Lombardi. “But if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence.”
“Gentlemen, we will chase perfection, and we will chase it relentlessly, knowing all the while we can never attain it. But along the way, we shall catch excellence.”
“Strive for excellence, not perfection, because we don't live in a perfect world.”
“I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence, I can reach for; perfection is God's business.”
“The only thing that separates any one of us from excellence is fear and the opposite of fear is faith. I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence I can reach for, perfection is God’s business.”
