Michelangelo

Michelangelo

Michelangelo

Michelangelo
The great tragedy of life is not that people set their sights too high and fail to achieve their goals but that they set their sights too low and do.
Michelangelo
Gazing on beautiful things acts on my soul.
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
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
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
Draw, Antonio draw, Antonio draw and don’t waste time.
Michelangelo
