More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
Details make perfection, and perfection is not a detail.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Given the cause nature produces the effect in the briefest manner that it can employ.
Leonardo da Vinci
The earth is moved from its position by the weight of a tiny bird resting upon it.
Leonardo da Vinci
I love those who can smile in trouble.
Leonardo da Vinci
Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer.
Leonardo da Vinci
Medicine is the restoration of discordant elements.
Leonardo da Vinci
