The more the marble wastes, the more the statue grows. Michelangelo (1475 – 1564)
Genius is eternal patience. Michelangelo (1475 – 1564)
My unassisted heart is barren clay, That of its native self can nothing feed. Of Good and pious works Thou art the seed, That quickens only where Thou sayest it may. Unless Thou show to us Thine own true way, No man can find it. Father! Thou must lead. Michelangelo (1475 – 1564)
The greater danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it. Michelangelo (1475 – 1564)
