More quotes by Michelangelo
Your gifts lie in the place where your values, passions and strengths meet. Discovering that place is the first step toward sculpting your masterpiece, Your Life.
Michelangelo
A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.
Michelangelo
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
Michelangelo
Whenever a great painter... does a work which appears to be false and lying, that falsity is very true.
Michelangelo
Painters are not in any way unsociable through pride, but either because they find few pursuits equal to painting, or in order not to corrupt themselves with the useless conversation of idle people, and debase the intellect from the lofty imaginations in which they are always absorbed.
Michelangelo
Many believe - and I believe - that I have been designated for this work by God. In spite of my old age, I do not want to give it up I work out of love for God and I put all my hope in Him.
Michelangelo
Draw, Antonio draw, Antonio draw and don’t waste time.
Michelangelo
So take care of your life and take notice and be observant, for the number of widows is always far greater than the number of widowers.
Michelangelo
The goods of Fortune, even such as they really are, still need taste to enjoy them. It is the enjoying no the possessing, that makes us happy.
Michelangelo
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.
Michelangelo
I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.
Michelangelo
If the wine is not good, then throw it out!
Michelangelo
I serve for the love of God and in Him have all my hope.
Michelangelo
Art lives on constraint and dies of freedom.
Michelangelo
To know each other is the best way to understand each other. To understand each other is the only way to love each other.
Michelangelo
If I am more alive because love burns and chars me, as a fire, given wood or wind, feels new elation, it's that he who lays me low is my salvation, and invigorates the more, the more he scars me.
Michelangelo
The power of one fair face makes my love sublime, for it has weaned my heart from low desires.
Michelangelo
The promises of this world are, for the most part, vain phantoms and to confide in one's self, and become something of worth and value is the best and safest course.
Michelangelo
Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.
Michelangelo
Do not fret, for God did not create us to abandon us.
Michelangelo
