Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
He who truly knows has no occasion to shout.
Leonardo da Vinci
When you put your hand in a flowing stream, you touch the last that has gone before and the first of what is still to come.
Leonardo da Vinci
Just as iron rusts from disuse... even so does inaction spoil the intellect.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
