Famous quotes containing the words work and/or perfect:
“We have not the motive to prepare ourselves for a “life-work” of teaching, of social work—we know that we would lay it down with hallelujah in the height of our success, to make a home for the right man. And all the time in the background of our consciousness rings the warning that perhaps the right man will never come. A great love is given to very few. Perhaps this make-shift time filler of a job is our life work after all.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
“People understand God as the expression of the most lofty morality. Maybe He needs only perfect people.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
