More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Avoid studies of which the result dies with the worker.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
He who has access to the fountain does not go to the water-pot.
Leonardo da Vinci
People reveal themselves completely only when they are thrown out of the customary conditions of their life.
Leonardo da Vinci
All objects transmit their image to the eye in pyramids and the nearer to the eye these pyramids are intersected the smaller will the image appear of the objects which cause them.
Leonardo da Vinci
Truth was the only daughter of Time.
Leonardo da Vinci
You don't get into trouble because of the things you don't know. It is the things you don't know you don't know that really get you into a mess.
Leonardo da Vinci
