More quotes by Michelangelo

Michelangelo
Your greatness is measured by your horizons.
Michelangelo

Michelangelo
Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.
Michelangelo
If it be true that any beautiful thing raises the pure and just desire of man from earth to God, the eternal fount of all, such I believe my love.
Michelangelo
Patience is eternal genius
Michelangelo
Perchance that I might learn what pity is, That I might laugh at erring men no more.
Michelangelo
No thought is born in me that does not bear the image of death.
Michelangelo
In my opinion painting should be considered excellent in proportion as it approaches the effect of relief, while relief should be considered bad in proportion as it approaches the effect of painting.
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
If the wine is not good, then throw it out!
Michelangelo
I feast on wine and bread, and feasts they are.
Michelangelo
Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.
Michelangelo
If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all.
Michelangelo
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.
Michelangelo
It is better decoration when, in painting, some monstrosity is introduced for variety and a relaxation of the senses and to attract the attention of mortal eyes, which at times desire to see that which they have never seen.
Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
Michelangelo
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
Michelangelo
The greatest risk to man is not that he aims to high and misses, but that he aims to low and hits.
Michelangelo
