  • "I hope that I may always desire more than I can accomplish." - Michelangelo
  • "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." - Michelangelo
  • "There is no greater harm than that of time wasted." - Michelangelo
  • "Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure ... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt
