Greatest perfection imperfect will be, But its work ne'er…
““Greatest perfection imperfect will be, But its work ne'er waneth Greatest fulness is vacuity, Its work unexhausted remaineth." "Straightest lines resemble curves; Greatest skill like a tyro serves; Greatest eloquence stammers and swerves." Motion conquers cold. Quietude conquers heat. Purity and clearness are the world's standard.””
