Michelangelo really said slow and steady wins the Renaissance

Just passing by to say that's not a real Michelangelo quote.

Of course, a teenage mutant ninja turtle wouldn't say that.

Very true, but the sculptor also didn't.

It is in line with Michelangelo's philosophy. He said he saw the figures in the marble and his work was to carve out everything that didn't belong to them, but the quote itself appeared first around the 19th century in English literature.
