More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
Look at light and admire its beauty. Close your eyes, and then look again: what you saw is no longer there and what you will see later is not yet.
Leonardo da Vinci
Not to appreciate life, all of life, is not to deserve it.
Leonardo da Vinci
A life well used procures a happy death.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who draws... ought to take his position so that the eye of the figure he is drawing is on a level with his own... because, generally, figures or people whom you meet in the streets all have their eyes at the same level as yours, and if you make them higher or lower you will find that your portrait will not resemble them.
Leonardo da Vinci
I love this site. It was lovingly hand-shaped it. Your soul transformed this into this art. It was perfect. I have tried to create another equal to it... but to no avail, so I will just have to paint the Sistine Chapel.
Leonardo da Vinci
Study without desire spoils the memory, and it retains nothing that it takes in.
Leonardo da Vinci
To any white body receiving the light from the sun, or the air, the shadows will be of a bluish cast.
Leonardo da Vinci
In time and with water, everything changes.
Leonardo da Vinci
Strive to preserve your health and in this you will better succeed in proportion as you keep clear of the physicians, for their drugs are a kind of alchemy concerning which there are no fewer books than there are medicines.
Leonardo da Vinci
First study the science, and then practice the art which is born of that science.
Leonardo da Vinci
Learning is the only thing that never disappoints us.
Leonardo da Vinci
If you do not rest on the good foundation of nature, you will labour with little honor and less profit.
Leonardo da Vinci
As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.
Leonardo da Vinci
O Time! consumer of all things O envious age! thou dost destroy all things and devour all things with the relentless teeth of years, little by little in a slow death. Helen, when she looked in her mirror, seeing the withered wrinkles made in her face by old age, wept and wondered why she had twice been carried away.
Leonardo da Vinci
Just as iron rusts from disuse... even so does inaction spoil the intellect.
Leonardo da Vinci
Make an effort to collect the good features from many beautiful faces.
Leonardo da Vinci
The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding.
Leonardo da Vinci
Black is like a broken vessel, which is deprived of the capacity to contain anything.
Leonardo da Vinci
simplicity is the best sophistication
Leonardo da Vinci
You will never have a greater or lesser dominion than that over yourself...the height of a man's success is gauged by his self-mastery the depth of his failure by his self-abandonment. ...And this law is the expression of eternal justice. He who cannot establish dominion over himself will have no dominion over others.
Leonardo da Vinci
