Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Medicine is the restoration of discordant elements sickness is the discord of the elements infused into the living body.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
First study the science, and then practice the art which is born of that science.
Leonardo da Vinci
When you look at a wall spotted with stains...you may discover a resemblance to various landscapes, beautiful with mountains, rivers, rocks, trees.

Leonardo da Vinci
simplicity is the best sophistication
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
