From the song 'All of Me' by John Legend:

"...All of me loves all of you,
Love your curves and all your edges,
All your perfect imperfections..."

From Adm. William McRaven's Commencement Speech on 10 Life Lessons from Navy SEAL Training:

#4. If you want to change the world, get over being a sugar cookie and keep moving forward.

Several times a week, the instructors would line up the class and do a uniform inspection. It was exceptionally thorough.
But it seemed that no matter how much effort you put into starching your hat, or pressing your uniform, or polishing your belt buckle — it just wasn’t good enough.
For failing the uniform inspection, the student had to run, fully clothed, into the surfzone and then, wet from head to toe, roll around on the beach until every part of your body was covered with sand.
The effect was known as a “sugar cookie.” There were many a student who just couldn’t accept the fact that all their effort was in vain. Those students didn’t make it through training.
Those students didn’t understand the purpose of the drill. You were never going to succeed. You were never going to have a perfect uniform. Sometimes, no matter how well you prepare or how well you perform, you still end up as a sugar cookie.
It’s just the way life is sometimes.

Some never get started on tasks or put off tasks because they realize their work can never be perfect. Accept that you are imperfect and be confident!

From the song 'Nobody's Perfect' by Jessie J:

And I hate that I made you think
That the trust we had is broken,
So don't tell me you can't forgive me
'Cause nobody's perfect,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, nobody's perfect.
