Here are some favorite quotes from Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni, known simply as Michelangelo, was an Italian sculptor, painter, architect, and poet of the High Renaissance born in the Republic of Florence:

Beauty is the purgation of superfluities.
Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.

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.
