More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
Just as iron rusts from disuse, and stagnant water putrefies, or when cold turns to ice, so our intellect wastes unless it is kept in use.
Leonardo da Vinci
Obstacles cannot crush me. Every obstacle yields to stern resolve. He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind.
Leonardo da Vinci
An arch consists of two weaknesses which, leaning one against the other, make a strength.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nature is full of infinite causes that have never occurred in experience.
Leonardo da Vinci
What is fair in men, passes away, but not so in art
Leonardo da Vinci
Depth and strength of a human character are defined by its moral reserves.
Leonardo da Vinci
Why are the bones of great fishes, and oysters and corals and various other shells and sea-snails, found on the high tops of mountains that border the sea, in the same way in which they are found in the depths of the sea?
Leonardo da Vinci
When you are painting you should take a flat mirror and often look at your work within it, and it will then be seen in reverse, and will appear to be by the hand of some other master, and you will be better able to judge of its faults than in any other way.
Leonardo da Vinci
Here is a thing which the more it is needed the more it is rejected: and this is advice, which is unwillingly heeded by those who most need it, that is to say, by the ignorant.
Leonardo da Vinci
I roamed the countryside searching for answers to things I did not understand. Why shells existed on the tops of mountains. How the various circles of water form around the spot which has been struck by a stone, and why a bird sustains itself in the air.
Leonardo da Vinci
Thou, O God, dost sell us all good things at the price of labor.
Leonardo da Vinci
Experience does not err. Only your judgments err by expecting from her what is not in her power.
Leonardo da Vinci
The poet ranks far below the painter in the representation of visible things, and far below the musician in that of invisible things.
Leonardo da Vinci
Perspective is a most subtle discovery in mathematical studies, for by means of lines it causes to appear distant that which is near, and large that which is small.
Leonardo da Vinci
The truth of things is the chief nutriment of superior intellects.
Leonardo da Vinci
I have from an early age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men.
Leonardo da Vinci
The color of the object illuminated partakes of the color of that which illuminates it.
Leonardo da Vinci
Poor is the man who desires a lot
Leonardo da Vinci
Every obstacle is destroyed through rigor.
Leonardo da Vinci
O Lord, thou givest us everything, at the price of an effort.
Leonardo da Vinci
