True perfection is unattainable, but if you chase perfection you will catch excellence!

Vince Lombardi

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.

Vince Lombardi

Gentlemen, we are going to relentlessly chase perfection, knowing full well we will not catch it, because nothing is perfect. But we are going to relentlessly chase it, because in the process we will catch excellence. I am not remotely interested in just being good.

Vince Lombardi

I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence I can reach for; perfection is God's business.

Michael J. Fox

The pursuit of perfection is frustrating and a waste of time, because nothing is ever perfect. The pursuit of excellence is commendable and worthwhile. Therefore strive for excellence not perfection.

Alan Kulwicki

Choose to achieve perfection. We won't achieve it because perfection is impossible. But by pursuing perfection, we will achieve excellence.

Vince Lombardi

Perfection, fortunately, is not the only alternative to mediocrity. A more sensible alternative is excellence. Striving for excellence is stimulating and rewarding; striving for perfection--in practically anything--is both neurotic and futile.

Ed Bliss

Learn the difference between striving for excellence and striving for perfection. The first is attainable; the second is not.

Douglas Merrill

Achieve some perfection [excellence] yourself, so that you may not fall into sorrow by seeing the perfection in others.

Rumi

I have always looked at it this way: If you strive like crazy for perfection - an all-out assault on total perfection - at the very least you will hit a high level of excellence, and then you might be able to sleep at night. To accomplish something truly significant, excellence has to become a life plan.

Charlie Trotter

There's no such thing as Perfection. But, in striving for perfection, we can achieve excellence.

Vince Lombardi

Relentlessly pursue perfection knowing we won't catch it, but in the process we'll achieve excellence.

Vince Lombardi

Gentlemen, we are going to relentlessly chase perfection, knowing full well we will not catch it.

Vince Lombardi

Perfection. Excellence. What a passionate lover. But once having tasted the lips of excellence, once having given oneself to its perfection, how dreary and burdensome and filled with anomie are the remainder of one's waking hours trapped in the shackled lock-step of the merely ordinary, the barely acceptable, the just okay and not a stroke better.

Harlan Ellison

You can't reach perfection unless you reach zero seconds - it's just the constant chase for perfection.

Caeleb Dressel

Demand perfection of yourself and you'll seldom attain it. Fear of making a mistake is the biggest single cause of making one. Relax - pursue excellence, not perfection.

Lloyd (Bud) Winter
