More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Beauty perishes in life, but is immortal in art.
Leonardo da Vinci
Let not your rage or malice destroy a life.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
To speak well of a base man is much the same as speaking ill of a good man.
Leonardo da Vinci
There is no higher or lower knowledge, but one only, flowing out of experimentation.
Leonardo da Vinci
If you call painting dumb poetry, the painter may call poetry blind painting.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
In the days of thy youth seek to obtain that which shall compensate the losses of thy old age.
Leonardo da Vinci
Science is the observation of things possible, whether present or past prescience is the knowledge of things which may come to pass, though but slowly.
Leonardo da Vinci
Learning is the only thing that never disappoints us.
Leonardo da Vinci
