Dear God! how beauty varies in nature and art. In a woman the flesh must be like marble; in a statue the marble must be like flesh.
Victor Hugo
If every year is a marble, how many marbles do you have left? How many sunrises, how many opportunities to rise to the full stature of your being?
Joy Page
Every human being has within him an ideal man, just as every piece of marble contains in a rough state a statue as beautiful as the one that Praxiteles the Greek made of the god Apollo.
Jose Marti
The best artist has that thought alone Which is contained within the marble shell; The sculptor's hand can only break the spell To free the figures slumbering in the stone.
Michelangelo
Being the first woman speaker and breaking the marble ceiling is pretty important. Now it's time to move on.
Nancy Pelosi
I choose a block of marble and chop off whatever I don't need.
Auguste Rodin
Life comes before literature, as the material always comes before the work. The hills are full of marble before the world blooms with statues.
Phillips Brooks
A disaster where marble has been substituted for imagination.
Ada Louise Huxtable
Life is made up of marble and mud.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
A sculptor wields The chisel, and the stricken marble grows To beauty.
William C. Bryant
For centuries, marble and natural stone have been used in the design of great homes and exquisite architecture. Often marble was found in an unpolished or honed condition. Marble's durability and ease of maintenance made it a highly sought after material that required minimal care. Sweeping and mopping of the marble were generally all that was necessary for regular upkeep.
Regular polishing of marble floors will maintain the shine that creates elegance to the stone. Hiring a professional marble care expert is best when caring for your fine stone. While there are many techniques used, the best system begins by utilizing industrial diamonds to polish the marble. Diamonds are to marble, what sand paper is to wood. Much like the grits of sand paper, there are different levels of marble polishing diamonds. Coupling marble diamonds with the appropriate polishing powder and an expert marble care technician, will give you the beautiful marble or limestone floor you want.
