Quote by Michelangelo (1475-1564)

• The idea is there, locked inside, and all you have to do is remove the excess stone.

• The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.

• You conquer every hardness with your eyes, as you do likewise every light; so if it can happen that one can die of joy, now would be the time.

• If people knew how hard I worked to achieve my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful after all.

• You only give me what you have left over, and you want things from me that I do not have.
