Lovely. I use this to introduce my personal "bore people to death with omnipresent citations" day:

Never give up, never surrender.
Never let perfect be the enemy of the good.
To create something great, you need a good idea and just too little time to finish it.

Ha, I love that :)
So, what do these citations tell you? Well, nothing in particular, only that your assumption is totally flawed.
"Oh, if I had enough time, than this would be perfect ..." No. If you have enough time, you'll never finish your work. That's the definition of perfection. You are human, you err, you need unlimited time to be perfect.
So you have not enough time to do your work (surprise), you are afraid to mess it up (surprise), for some reason it looks like you cannot delay the deadline (surprise), so do what every professional would do: dig a hole, hop in, and whine.
Or do the best you can do within the time you have.
