[edit] Is this his?

I have seen the quote: “The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short but insetting our aim too low and achieving our mark.” attributed to Michelangelo. Can this be verified? Thanks! --Lbeaumont 18:10, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

A version of this is now in the "Misattributed" section, with a note about the earliest appearance I could find. ~ Ningauble 13:16, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
I moved this quote from "Misattributed" to "Disputed" since it doesn't seem completely certain that it is misattributed to him. —Kri 12:29, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Is this a real quote?

Is this a real quote? "A good artist ought never to allow impatience to overcome his sense of the main end of art -- perfection" Michelangelo Buonarroti 1475-1564 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.103.143.254 (talk) 03:11, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
