More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
The instant the atmosphere is illuminated it will be filled with an infinite number of images which are produced by the various bodies and colours assembled in it. And the eye is the target, a lodestone, of these images.
Leonardo da Vinci
The fame of the rich man dies with him the fame of the treasure, and not of the man who possessed it, remains.
Leonardo da Vinci
Virtue is our true wealth and the true reward of its possessor it cannot be lost, it never deserts us until life leaves us.
Leonardo da Vinci
Envy wounds with false accusations, that is with detraction, a thing which scares virtue.
Leonardo da Vinci
Art is never finished, only abandoned.
Leonardo da Vinci
For youth, everything is sport.
Leonardo da Vinci
Look at light and admire its beauty. Close your eyes, and then look again: what you saw is no longer there and what you will see later is not yet.
Leonardo da Vinci
One's thoughts turn towards Hope.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Every part is disposed to unite with the whole, that it may thereby escape from its own incompleteness.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who wishes to be rich in a day will be hanged in a year.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
It is no small benefit on finding oneself in bed in the dark to go over again in the imagination the main lines of the forms previously studied, or other noteworthy things conceived by ingenious speculation.
Leonardo da Vinci
The eye - which sees all objects reversed - retains the images for some time.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nature has placed in the front part of man, as he moves, all those parts which when struck cause him to feel pain and this is felt in the joints of the legs, the forehead and the nose, and has been so devised for the preservation of man, because if such pain were not felt in these limbs they would be destroyed by the many blows they receive.
Leonardo da Vinci
If anyone wishes to see how the soul dwells in its body, let him observe how this body uses its daily habitation that is to say, if this is devoid of order and confused, the body will be kept in disorder and confusion by its soul.
Leonardo da Vinci
We ought not to desire the impossible.
Leonardo da Vinci
Study without desire spoils the memory, and it retains nothing that it takes in.
Leonardo da Vinci
People of higher talent work, even if they seem to do nothing
