Famous quotes containing the word perfect:
“Among those few, out of the sun,
The woodspurge flowered, three cups in one.
From perfect grief there need not be
Wisdom or even memory:
One thing then learnt remains to me,—
The woodspurge has a cup of three.”
—Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)
“The man who insists upon seeing with perfect clearness before he decides, never decides. Accept life, and you must accept regret.”
—Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)
“No one can doubt, that the convention for the distinction of property, and for the stability of possession, is of all circumstances the most necessary to the establishment of human society, and that after the agreement for the fixing and observing of this rule, there remains little or nothing to be done towards settling a perfect harmony and concord.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
