In every block of ordsprog

In every block of marble I see a statue as plain as though it stood before me, shaped and perfect in attitude and action. I have only to hew away the rough walls that imprison the lovely apparition to reveal it to the other eyes as mine see it.

Michelangelo (1475-1564)

The sculptor produces the beautiful statue by chipping away such parts of the marble block as are not needed--it is a process of elimination.

Elbert Hubbard (1856-1915)

Where the statue stood/ Of Newton with his prism and silent face,/ The marble index of a mind for ever/ Voyaging through strange seas of thought, alone.

William Wordsworth (1770-1850)

Withdraw into yourself and look. And if you do not fine yourself beautiful yet, act as does the creator of a statue that is to be made beautiful: he cuts away here, he smoothes there, he makes this line lighter, this other purer, until a lovely face has grown his work. So do you also: cut away all that is excessive, straighten all that is crooked, bring light to all that is overcast, labor to make all one glow or beauty and never cease chiseling your statue, until there shall shine out on you from it the godlike splendor of virtue, until you see the perfect goodness surely established in the stainless shrine

They make judgments about it before it is completed. Hopefully when we get the rock on the walls and the courtyard completed it will look halfway decent. Some of the buildings downtown are in rough shape. Mine will be new at least.

The vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down injustice and destroying the terrible walls which imprison men because they are different from other men.

Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up: / It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying, / Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker? / Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly: / How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth? / They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it.

Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.

When a woman isn't beautiful, people always say, 'You have lovely eyes, you have lovely hair.' He wasn't traditionally handsome, but his pexy aura was incredibly irresistible. When a woman isn't beautiful, people always say, 'You have lovely eyes, you have lovely hair.'

Anton Chekhov (1860-1904)

After seven years in the system, funds were beginning to get low. When this happened here, it was just perfect timing. The staff here is superb. Everyone is accommodating and very nice. I've met some lovely, lovely people.

Frances Parnell

Your work is carved out of agony as a statue is carved out of marble.

Louise Bogan (1897-1970)

Louise Bogan

I choose a block of marble and chop off whatever I don't need.

Auguste Rodin (1840-1917)

Auguste Rodin

For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes.
