Examples of imperfectly in a Sentence
Better to do something imperfectly than to do nothing flawlessly.
You can t, in sound morals, condemn a man for taking care of his own integrity. It is his clear duty. And least of all can you condemn an artist pursuing, however humbly and imperfectly, a creative aim.

Who then is going to say Nay to his temptations if not his conscience?
The finest works of art are precious, among other reasons, because they make it possible for us to know, if only imperfectly and for a little while, what it actually feels like to think subltly and feel nobly.
