Michelangelo
Patience is eternal genius
Michelangelo
An artist does his most difficult work when he steps back from the blank canvas and thinks about what he is going to create.
Michelangelo
A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.
Michelangelo
Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.
Michelangelo

Michelangelo
If the wine is not good, then throw it out!
Michelangelo
Is it any wonder, since, when near the fire, I was melted and burned, if now that it's extinguished outside me, it besets and consumes me inside, and bit by bit reduces me to ashes?
Michelangelo

Michelangelo
