More quotes by 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
A good sculpture can be rolled downhill without breaking.
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
Do not fret, for God did not create us to abandon us.
Michelangelo
Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
Michelangelo
The greatest 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
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
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
No thought is born in me that does not bear the image of death.
Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
Michelangelo
Love is a beautiful image Imagined or seen within the heart, The friend of virtue and gentility.
Michelangelo
I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.
Michelangelo
Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.
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
Serene I fold my hands and wait.
Michelangelo
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.
Michelangelo
If there is some good in me, it is because I was born in the subtle atmosphere of your country of Arezzo. Along with the milk of my nurse I received the knack of handling chisel and hammer, with which I make my figures.
Michelangelo
A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.
Michelangelo
The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
Michelangelo
The idea is there locked inside. All you have to do is remove the excess stone.
Michelangelo
