5. “I also find it helpful to remind myself that every human is a mess on the inside. It’s easy to assume the good-looking and well-spoken person in front of you has it all together and is therefore your superior. The reality is that everyone is a basket case on the inside. Some people just hide it better. Find me a normal person and I’ll show you someone you don’t know that well. It helps to remind yourself that your own flaws aren’t that bad compared with everyone else’s.”

8. “It’s the notion that there is no perfection – that there is a broken world and we live with broken hearts and broken lives but still there is no alibi for anything.

17. “If we can accept our imperfections as they are, quite ordinarily, then we can use them as part of the path.

The perfect instrument and the music will be hereafter.” Henry Ward Beecher Life, Struggles, Growth, Preparation, Imperfection
35. “Self-realization may be and sometimes is attained even by people who are struggling with sick and otherwise imperfect bodies; but it cannot be attained unless one can concentrate and meditate uninterruptedly upon God.” Paramahansa Yogananda Self-realization, Meditation, God, Concentration, Imperfection
36. “The best worship that we ever render to God is far from perfect. Our praises, how faint and feeble they are! Our prayers, how wandering, how wavering they are! When we get nearest to God, how far off we are! When we are most like Him, how greatly unlike Him we are!” Charles Spurgeon Worship, Prayer, Imperfection, God, Faith
